Fixing how Africa feeds and moves itself.
Across Africa, good food rots in the fields while markets in the cities pay too much for too little. Trucks drive back empty. Farmers sell to the first trader who comes, without knowing the price in the next city. Nobody is to blame alone: the connections are simply missing.
What is broken
Farmers can't reach buyers beyond their village, so they take the first price.
Produce spoils while it waits for a buyer or a truck.
Trucks run empty on the way back, and transport costs climb.
Buyers can't find reliable supply or trust deliveries.

I'm Yuhala Darren, Cameroonian, from Polytech Yaoundé (National Advanced School of Engineering of Yaoundé). I see these problems around me every day, and I decided to take them on as an engineering challenge.
Tayeb is my answer: one platform where a farmer can list a harvest from her phone, a restaurant in another city can order it, and a driver nearby can carry it, with a code that proves it arrived.
I started in Cameroon. The goal is the whole continent. This is not just an app; it is infrastructure that Africa deserves, built here, by us.

Build the digital infrastructure that connects Africa's agricultural supply with commercial demand, and makes moving goods simple, fair and safe.
What we stand for
Fairness for the people who grow our food.
Trust you can check: codes, tracking, ratings.
Simplicity: if it needs a manual, we failed.
Security and privacy by default.
Africa, forward
We face neither East nor West; we face forward.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
It's the little things citizens do. That's what will make the difference.
Until the lion learns to write, tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
