Problem / Identified market opportunity
The vegetable supply chain is too long. Farmers earn the least in the whole chain (9% of the final product price) and are forced to chase quantity instead of quality. That is why end consumers get products over-treated with pesticides. In addition, around 50% of all vegetables produced are lost or thrown away in the inefficient chain.
Solution
Our solution is a multi-sided platform that connects farmers with urban consumers. It lets users rent a garden on a farmer's land through our app, which ensures delivery of healthy, pesticide-free vegetables to their home address. Farmit transforms the long supply chain, giving farmers a better position and letting them focus on quality while earning up to 5x more. City dwellers get fresh, healthy vegetables delivered to their door. Our app lets users follow their crops, promoting sustainability and transparency in the food supply chain while supporting the local farming community.
