Summary
India today is one the world's largest producers of farm output - an annual market of $220B. half of this output - over $100B is consumed in the country. however, a centuries old trading system leaves farmers under crushing debt, consumers with poor food security and retail completely unorganized for fresh produce. we want to change this. at Fruitfal we believe there is a better way. by leveraging India's 300M connected smart phones (growing fast) + smart technology (big data, AI, ML) - we a re building a fairer more sustainable ecosystem that creates a win-win for key contributors of the value chain. bringing the rigor and discipline of for-profit enterprise to affect social change. ▷ helping farmers grow smarter ▷ helping kiranas sell better ▷ delivering consumers value
