Marketplace - Agricultural Products
The Marketplace is a platform connecting agricultural producers with wholesale merchants. Producers post their products (fruits, vegetables, olive oil, wine, etc.) and merchants can contact them for supplies.
Producers list their harvest for free. Merchants view listings for free and pay 10€ a year to see producers' contact details and send inquiries. The payment is one-time and does not renew automatically.
Register on the platform by selecting the 'Merchant' role. After registration, you will have immediate access to all agricultural products and will be able to view contact details and contact producers directly.
Register as a Producer/Employer, log in to your account, and go to the Marketplace from the menu. Click 'New Product' and fill in the details (title, description, quantity in kg, area). The product will appear in the Marketplace after approval by our team.
You can post any agricultural product: fruits, vegetables, cereals, horticultural products, olive oil, wine, honey, cheese, meat, eggs, and other agricultural products. The platform supports all categories of agricultural products.
Once you become a merchant, you can view the contact details (phone, email) of the producers on the product pages. Send an inquiry through the platform or contact them directly by phone to discuss quantities, prices, and delivery.
Log in to your account as a merchant and click 'Manage Subscription' from the menu (button with purple border). There you can see your subscription status, expiration date, and renew it when needed.
If your subscription expires, you will not be able to view producer contact details or send new inquiries for products. You will receive an email reminder before expiration. You can renew it at any time to continue having full access to the Marketplace.
Agronomists & Agrotechnical Services
The Agronomists section allows qualified agronomists and agrotechnicians to create their professional profile and declare availability on the platform, so that farmers and employers can easily find them and request their services.
Sign up on merokam and select the «Agronomist» role. Then fill in your profile (specialties, services, way of working, bio) and create one or more availabilities per region and time period.
You can declare any agrotechnical service, such as: soil & water analysis, plant protection, OPEKEPE subsidy management, farmland registration, spraying, irrigation systems, crop monitoring, precision agriculture, farmer training. You can select multiple services at once.
Go to the «Agronomists» page and use the filters to search by region, specialty or service. The search is free and does not require registration.
As soon as you click «Express Interest», the agronomist immediately receives an SMS and Email with your name and phone number. The agronomist decides whether to contact you. You also receive confirmation that the notification was sent. You cannot express interest again for the same availability for 3 months.
Searching for agronomists is free without registration. To express interest and have an SMS/Email sent to the agronomist with your details, you need to have an account as an employer or farmer.
Cooperation confirmation is a feature that allows employers and workers to confirm that a cooperation took place after a job is completed. This helps build trust on the platform and create a reliable work history.
After completing the work, go to your listing's details page and find the worker in the application list. You will see the question 'Did you cooperate?' with 'Yes' and 'No' buttons. Click 'Yes' to confirm the cooperation. The worker will receive a notification email.
While logged in, go to the Home page and find your application for the specific listing. When the employer confirms you, you will see the question 'Did you cooperate?' with 'Yes' and 'No' buttons. Click 'Yes' to confirm. The employer will receive a notification email.
Once both parties confirm the cooperation, the rating option opens up. The employer can rate the worker and the worker can rate the employer. Ratings are public and help other users make informed decisions.
After cooperation confirmation, while logged in, you will see a rating form on the Home page. Select from 1 to 5 stars (1=very bad, 5=excellent experience) and optionally write a comment. Ratings are anonymous until submitted and help build a reliable community.
The 'Verified' badge appears on workers who have at least one confirmed cooperation with a rating from an employer. The 'Top Worker' badge is given to those who have an average rating of 5.0 stars. These badges appear on the available workers list and help employers recognize reliable workers.
We send an automatic reminder email 10 days after the listing is published to inform you about the applications you received and to encourage you to declare the cooperations that took place. This helps keep the community active and build trust between users.
No! Ratings and confirmed cooperations are retained even if you delete the listing. The listing will simply no longer appear publicly, but the cooperation history and ratings remain on user profiles. Workers, if logged in, will see the listing as 'The listing is no longer available' on their Home page.
Proximity Alerts for Workers
It is a premium service for workers that sends them an automatic email and/or SMS as soon as a new listing is published within the radius (in km) they have set. Instead of searching on your own, merokam notifies you immediately.
From your worker dashboard:
- Get a subscription (3-month, 6-month or annual).
- Click «Activate / Update Location» to save your location.
- Set your maximum radius (10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 km) and choose email, SMS or both.
There are 3 options:
- 3-month subscription — 3€
- 6-month subscription — 5€
- Annual subscription — 8€
The subscription does not renew automatically — you pay once with no hidden charges.
If you activate the «Listings with accommodation outside radius» option, you will receive a notification even for listings beyond the km you have set, as long as the listing provides accommodation. Useful if you are open to relocating for a job with housing provided.
No. There are no hidden charges and no automatic renewal. The subscription expires at the end of the period and you can renew it manually if you wish.
Vision & Future of merokam
merokam aspires to become Farming Platform As A Service (FPaaS) — a central ecosystem covering all the needs of the agricultural sector: job listings, an agronomist network, a B2B marketplace for agricultural products, and the use of private farmland. Every piece connects with the rest, forming a complete production cycle.
It is the platform's second major feature. Producers post their harvest (olives, fruit, vegetables, citrus, etc.) with quantities and quality criteria. Wholesale merchants, brokers and cooperatives from all over Greece can find them and get in touch — exactly as with workers and employers. The deal is made directly after contact.
Today many producers depend on 2-3 local merchants who control prices. There is no real competition, no transparency. With the merokam Marketplace, producers gain access to far more buyers and better prices. Merchants find goods quickly and reliably. And through the rating system, everyone knows who pays fairly and on time.
There are many individuals with underused farmland. merokam aims to give them a complete system:
- They register and merokam suggests an agronomist in their area.
- The agronomist visits the land, conducts a soil analysis and draws up a cultivation plan.
- For spraying, pruning, fertilizing: workers from merokam.
- For harvesting: again, workers from merokam.
- For selling the harvest: merokam's B2B Marketplace.
Significant income from the land, without the individual needing to get directly involved in the work.
