Market Intelligence Platform

Our Market Intelligence service goes beyond sending price updates. We collect, digitize, analyze, and visualize market data from key markets in Kampala and border markets across Uganda for 38 commodities, and make these insights available through a dedicated dashboard.

The dashboard helps farmers, farmer organizations, traders, partners, and programme teams compare prices, track market trends, identify demand signals, and make better decisions on what to plant, when to sell, and where to move produce.

We also track international markets for export commodities, including coffee and cocoa, helping users understand wider price movements and opportunities beyond local markets. By turning market data into practical insights, M-Omulimisa helps farmers negotiate from a stronger position, reduce uncertainty, and respond to real demand from local, regional, and international markets.
