The website was never intended for people in rural Africa, it was intended for donors and governments in Western countries, so that the company could get juicy grant money and pay themselves to pretend to empower African farmers.

Believe it or not people outside the US actually buy and sell things too! Africa is a primarily mobile first continent with the fastest growing mobile infrastructure and 100 million new handsets sold a year (and that is predicted to double by 2025).

You better believe that I believe it. However, if they were actually trying to get rural people work bad internet connections as customers, they would make a website that was fast and efficient.
