Success Story: How We Helped AgroConnect Dominate the West African Farm Produce Market

By IND-Corp

A Continental Challenge,

In 2023, AgroConnect, an Abidjan-based startup, was struggling to compete with the international giants of the agri-food industry. Their ambition? To become the #1 platform for connecting 500,000 West African farmers to global buyers. But their digital tools were holding them back… Here’s how we propelled them to the top, with solutions that can be replicated in Paris, Dubai or New York.

1. The Problem: A Failed Platform

A. Slow, disorganized website

• Key figures (Before):
• Loading time: 8.7 seconds (vs. 2s recommended by Google).
• Bounce rate: 76% on mobile.
• Monthly traffic: 12,000 visitors (80% of whom did not return).

B. Obsolete Mobile Application User problems:

• Frequent crashes on Android 10+.
• No offline functionality.
• 12-step purchase process.

C. Lack of Regional Integration

Customer pain:

• Payments limited to credit cards (not widely used in rural areas).
• No multilingual management (French, English, local languages).

2. Les Solutions IND-Corp : Une Approche Holistique

A. Radical Web redesign (Next.js + Headless CMS)  Key optimizations :

• Migration to Vercel: loading time reduced to 1.2s thanks to Edge Network.
• Dynamic Routing: Product pages generated in real time for 10,000+ items.
• International SEO: Hreflang tags to target Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Europe.

B. Hybrid Mobile Application (Flutter + Firebase) Key features :

• Offline mode: Synchronization of catalogs and orders via SQLite.
• Local payments: Integration of MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money and Wave.

A. Key figures (12 months post-launch)

• Web traffic: +320% (52,000 → 220,000 visitors/month).

• Mobile loading time: 8.7s → 1.4s (-84%).

B. Regional expansion

• Market share: 27% in West Africa (vs. 5% in 2022).

C. International recognition
