Bungoma Agricultural Producers Association (BAPA) Develops Sokolima WhatsApp platform to Help Farmers, Says Mukhebi.
BAPA has developed Sokolima as a Market Place where farmers can post offers to sell or bids to buy any agricultural commodity, input, product or service.
BAPA Interim Chairman, Prof Adrian Mukhebi, says right now they are introducing the Sokolima platform just as a WhatsApp group, where people can interact and post the offers and bids for free.

Speaking to Countyflash News, Prof.Mukhebi, a renowned Agricultural Economist, stated that it is easy for sellers such as farmers and buyers to interact through the platform.
“Sokolima is a platform which we would like people: farmers, farm input (e.g. fertilizer and seed) suppliers, processors of agricultural commodities such as millers, traders of agricultural products, and consumers, to use to place commodity offers or bids,” he said.

He added, “We are developing the Sokolima App which will soon be on Google play store for more widespread use in local, domestic, regional and international markets,” he said.
