The agro commodities supply chain in India suffers from a severe disconnect between end buyers and farmers. While farmers need to be able to sell their produce at fair market price in a timely manner, end buyers need to procure certified quality grades, in required bulk quantities and at the right time for their business needs. However, the lack of direct connection between end buyers and farmers poses risks to both. Additionally, seasonality of output coupled with quality variations and price volatility creates more complexity.
Considering the seasonality and perishability of agro commodities, which in-turn contributes to quality and price variability, agro industries depend heavily on procuring the right raw material. To enable end buyers to source the right quality and quantity at the right price and time, Bahuvida Limited facilitates integration with farmers for secure and reliable raw material supply.
