Grassroots Digital Entrepreneurship (Part 2): Neighborhood Fruits & Vegetables Online

To continue with my article on the emerging Grassroots Digital Entrepreneurship published last week. I am happy that no more than a week after writing it, our online marketplace www.bigbenta.com received several fruits and vegetables inquiries from sellers in a nearby wet market in Paranaque. I personally think that we are penetrating the grassroots level now, which is both surprising and very encouraging. Critics might say that there is nothing new with the online purchase of fruits or vegetables as some countries and other markets are currently doing this. In other markets or countries, YES, I totally agree, but here in the Philippines, this is quite rare. To think that the supplies of the fruits and vegetables are not coming from big grocery stores or supermarket chains, but from your average and humble neighborhood fruits and vegetables stalls found only in wet markets.

Stall in Paranaque Wet Market. The first to adopt grassroots digital entrepreneurship.

We faced new challenges in regard to delivering perishable products. Challenges like ensuring freshness and product availability, proper handling, keeping delivery costs to a minimum, and even coming up with an acceptable payment for merchants. The good thing is that both the merchant and BigBenta.com were able to come to an agreement that addresses all these issues to ensure that the customers are provided with an online alternative to have their fruits and vegetables delivered to their preferred location.

Palengke Items in BigBenta.com sells LPG gas, rice, and fruits. Customers no longer need to visit a wet market for these items but enjoy the convenience of ordering -  ONLINE!

Still, some questions still hang in my head. Is this the start of a trend (grassroots digital entrepreneurship) or just a nice coincidence? From the time I wrote about the rice and cooking gas sellers some two weeks ago, BigBenta.com has been busy entertaining more than a dozen similar sellers across the different areas of Metro Manila. Surprisingly, the first two customers who purchased their cooking gas were from the Middle East who wanted to order the commodity for their family back home. The two husbands ordered and paid for their orders online.

I think I will be able to get my answer in the next couple of months whether the trend is hear to stay or not. One thing is certain, digital entrepreneurship is building its following in the Philippines regardless if the business is macro, small, medium or large in size. The owners of the establishments are themselves the one driving the adoption. Maybe the fish and meat sellers will come online soon and that will definitely seal the concept of having an “Online Palengke” for the convenience of our customers.
