30-Second Plain English Summary

Agricultural supply chains in India feature 4 to 6 layers of intermediaries between farm gates and urban retailers, causing farmers to receive only 25-35% of the consumer rupee while perishable food rots in transit. Build a direct Farmer-to-Retailer/Consumer B2B agritech marketplace with smart collective demand aggregation, dynamic reverse logistics routing, and transparent escrow payment settlements.
