Our Market opportunity
Nearly 63% of all economically active men are engaged in agriculture as compared to 78% of women who make the majority of the farm laborers and market vendors.
In agriculturally productive regions, farmers have problems getting their produce to relatively nearby markets, Most don’t own a truck, car, or even a bicycle. Female farmers, by custom, mainly walk or use public transportation when available.
As a result, brokers and hawkers with trucks, motorcycles and bicycles commonly transport produce to cooperatives and markets, reaping most of the trading benefits. But the brokers won’t travel on untarmarked roads that are washed out by rain, thus produce often get rotten in the fields leading to huge losses.
