Challenge:  

The farmers and final consumers of the produce are so far removed from each other, that both fail to benefit from the sale of produce. The farmer does not receive an ample return for his produce and the consumer suffers in terms of quality. This happens because of an abundance of middlemen in the supply chain who profit the most from this transaction. Therefore, there is a need to bring the two parties to a common platform. As agriculture is the largest sector and contributes to about 17% of the GDP, there needs to an untangling of the supply chain so “quality produce gets paid off.”
