Marketplace Development in Sur
A fresh-catch marketplace linking Sur's boats with buyers across Oman
Sur's fishermen land fish every morning, and much of it is sold at the harbour to whoever is there. Restaurants and traders in Muscat would pay more for fresh fish if they knew what was landed and could order reliably.
We build marketplaces where fishermen or harbour agents list the catch by species and weight, buyers order or bid, and the platform arranges collection, cold transport and payment.
Listed as it lands
Listings are created in seconds on a phone with photos, species and weight. Buyers see what's available today.
Logistics and payment handled
The platform coordinates cold transport and pays fishermen promptly, with fees agreed upfront.
