Inspiration: In Papua New Guinea, betelnut is more than just a nut, it is a part of our culture and livelihood. One of the biggest challenges faced by betelnut growers is climate change, their safety when demand is high but the quantity of produce is low, and finding the right market for the right price.
What it does: this app can help betelnut growers to connect online to the right buyers and sell their produce even before it is transported on the highways into towns and cities. In addition, buyers would not need to leave the comfort of the city to hunt for betelnut, but pay in advance for the quantity they need.
How we built it: Phase 1 of this app will focus first on connecting businesses, truck owners and betelnut growers through the app, with each user having a different level of access that is necessary for the area of the business that's vital to this app.
Challenges we ran into:

What's next for Betelnut Market App: Phase 2 of the app will include connecting the business owners to end users (households, smaller market businesses).
