πŸ“ Day 2: Expanding discussions to Wendo Genet, Loka Abaya, and areas near Hawassa.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ 43 farmers, πŸ›  3 cooperatives, 🌱 3 BoA representatives

This workshop was a significant milestone for Chipchip as we introduced our platform to farmers, learning directly about their challenges and exploring ways we can collaborate effectively.

🌟 1 Million Milestone Achieved! 🌟

We’re thrilled to announce that ChipChip has crossed an incredible milestone: 1,000,000 kilograms of farm products sourced directly from farmers and delivered to our customers' doorsteps! πŸŽ‰

This achievement represents much more than a number. In a country where e-commerce marketplaces are still in their infancy, this milestone is a testament to innovation, resilience, and the power of community-driven solutions.

Through group buying, thousands of customers have embraced a new way of shopping:

βœ”οΈ Ordering online

βœ”οΈ Paying digitally

βœ”οΈ Receiving fresh, high-quality products at their doorstep

At the same time, ChipChip's farm-to-fork model ensures better earnings for farmers by eliminating middlemen, empowering local producers, and making essential goods more affordable for everyone.

This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of our partners, investors, and the trust of our incredible customers. Your belief in our mission has been instrumental in transforming this vision into a reality.

To our farmers, team, and all those who made this possible: This milestone is for all of us. πŸ’š

Here’s to creating even greater impact, one order at a time! πŸ™Œ
