Local Produce Marketplace (LPM) was founded in 2025 to empower small‐scale farmers and informal traders across South Africa. Our mission is to create a simple, mobile‐friendly platform that connects rural producers directly with urban consumers—cutting out middlemen, reducing waste, and ensuring farmers earn a fair price.
Through LPM, thousands of households can now buy fresh, locally‐grown produce every day. We believe in sustainability, transparency, and community. Our team is based in Johannesburg, and we partner with local co‐operatives to provide educational resources on seasonal crops, responsible farming, and food safety.
