Districts connected along a route

For aggregators, feedlots and exporters

Assembled supply, out of a fragmented countryside

You are not short of intent and neither is the supply side. Both of you are short of visibility. Post the requirement once and let the districts come to you.

Who this is built for

The aggregator

Buying through the districts and delivering to the national abattoir. Chinyama shows you where the stock is standing before you put fuel in the truck.

The finisher

Buying near-mature cattle in one market and feeding them to slaughter weight in another. The district page carries the route requirements alongside the stock.

The licensed exporter

Assembling volume against a beef contract. One standing requirement replaces weeks of calling.

The feedlot

Sourcing weaners at scale, repeatedly, from the same districts. Post the requirement as ongoing and it stays on the board.

The abattoir supplier

Filling a weekly kill. Condition band and weight band are on the face of every listing.

The restocking farmer

Rebuilding a herd after drought. The same board runs in both directions, which is the point of it.

Questions buyers ask

What does Chinyama actually deliver to a buyer?

Assembled supply and saved weeks. Instead of working the districts one contact at a time you post a standing requirement once, and the introductions come to you.

Is Chinyama a competitor to aggregators and speculators?

No. Chinyama is not a cattle trader and never will be. Aggregators, finishers and speculators are buyers on the platform, not parties being cut out of it.

Does the platform verify the herd?

Verification is on request, not a default. Where a buyer asks for it, Chinyama confirms the holder exists, the herd is where it is said to be, and that tags and clearances are current before the introduction is made.

Can I buy across a border through Chinyama?

You can be introduced across a border. The movement itself is yours to run, with an import permit issued in advance, a veterinary health certificate and quarantine where the destination requires it.

How does Chinyama earn?

Listing and reading the board are free. Chinyama charges for qualified introductions and for optional services, agreed in writing with the party concerned before the work begins.

Neutrality. Chinyama is an introducer, not a cattle trader. Nothing you post here hands a pipeline to a rival, because the platform is not in the trade and will not be.
