The HBP Marketplace is a dedicated online B2B platform connecting actors in Ghana's horticulture value chain. It allows producers, buyers, and service providers to discover, negotiate, and trade agricultural products and services securely.
Registered and verified members of the Horticulture Business Platform (HBP) can list products and services. You must complete your company profile and be approved as a Producer or Service Provider to start listing.
Log in to your member dashboard, navigate to "Marketplace & Accounts", and select "Products". Click "Add Product", fill in the details including price, quantity, category, and images, and submit it for listing.
From your dashboard, go to "Marketplace & Accounts" and select "Services". Provide a clear title, description, category, and cost. If your service requires a custom quote, you can set the cost to zero to indicate "Request Quote".
Browse the marketplace products and click on the item you wish to purchase. Click the "Make an Offer" button, specify the quantity you need, and submit. The seller will receive your offer and contact you to finalize the transaction.
Yes! Our "Make an Offer" system is designed for negotiation. You can submit your desired quantity and propose terms. The seller will review your offer and can accept, reject, or negotiate further.
Browse the services section and select a service you need. Click "Request Service", fill out your specific requirements and an alternative contact number, and submit. The service provider will be notified immediately and will reach out to you.
Browsing and submitting offers or requests is completely free for all users. Listing products and services is a core benefit included in your HBP membership.
All sellers and service providers on the HBP Marketplace are vetted members of the Horticulture Business Platform. You can view their verified company profile, directory listing, and details before making a transaction.
The seller will receive an email and a dashboard notification. They will review your offer and either accept it or contact you using the details provided to finalize the payment and delivery logistics.
Sellers can view and manage all incoming offers from their member dashboard under the "Offers" section. You can see the buyer's details, the quantity requested, and update the status of the offer.
Service providers can track all client requests from their dashboard. You will receive an email notification for every new request, containing the client's requirements and contact information.
Yes. You can pause or mark a listing as "Inactive" at any time from your dashboard if you run out of stock, or edit it to update prices and quantities.
Currently, HBP facilitates the connection and negotiation between buyers and sellers. Actual payment and delivery logistics are handled directly between the two parties once an offer or request is accepted.
HBP is Ghana's premier network for the horticulture sector, promoting effective trade, influencing policy, and connecting the value chain to opportunities locally and globally.
