What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a coffee processor
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a coffee processor, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Coffee processors track farmer payments, processing batches, grading and buyer contracts. Coffee processor margins depend on farmer prices, processing efficiency and buyer premiums.
