For Feature-Phone Vendors

USSD is EcoPlate’s offline access channel for farmers and market women without smartphones. It is separate from MTN Mobile Money (the payment method) and from AI image scanning (smartphone produce assessment).

How the stack works together

MTN Mobile Money: the payment method for contributions and vendor payouts (simulated in this prototype).

USSD *141#: feature-phone / offline listing channel for vendors without smartphones — not the payment method.

AI image scanning: smartphone-based produce freshness assessment (simulated in this prototype).

Njangi pools: aggregate MoMo contributions until a wholesale batch is funded.

Eco-Hubs: trusted pickup points near student neighbourhoods.

Eco Assistant: role-aware guidance for pitch demos (canned responses).
