About Tanom Marketplace
Direct agricultural trade connecting regional farms with food businesses in Butuan City and the Caraga Region.
The Core Mission
“Tanom” originates from the Visayan word for plants and crops. The marketplace was created to bridge the critical gap between smallholder family farms, agricultural cooperatives, and institutional food buyers across Northern Mindanao.
Traditional agricultural supply chains in the Philippines subject growers to volatile middlemen margins and opaque pricing. Tanom provides direct, transparent B2B trade where businesses are the primary customer: farms list fresh harvest batches with verified minimum order quantities, and commercial kitchens purchase at transparent, integer-centavo prices.
Academic Demonstration Context
Tanom Marketplace is an academic software engineering capstone built to professional enterprise standards. Every architectural layer reflects real-world B2B software engineering invariants: multi-tenant organization boundaries, atomic stock ledgers, fail-closed row-level security, and responsive mobile-first workflows designed for farmers in rural barangays.
