The Agri commodity market is worldwide an essential and interesting market – people will always eat! There is a global continuous increase in demand for food. Today, the big corporates are benefitting heavily, whilst smallholder farmers, suppliers, and buyers are not benefitting from it…yet.
The Indonesian $130Bn agriculture market has been shaken up since the pandemic. The opaque and inefficient supply chain of the smallholder farming ecosystem has shown its fragility during hard times. The smallholder farmers, traders, and suppliers – the Agri #microheroes – have felt this over the years, but truly realized this since the pandemic.
PasarMIKRO is a social enterprise that is determined to empower the Agri #microheroes through platform and digitalisation, to create a resilient and efficient network of the smallholder agricultural supply chain. We’ve picked some of their most pressing problems and developed our solutions revolving around them.
There is no better time than now, to start the change!
Farmers (sellers) get paid fast. Traders (buyers) receive working capital during the trade cycle
All transactions are traded via the platform, offering aggregation, price discovery and optionality for the users
Trading through the platform enables users to use their data and record for other (non) credit services such as credit risk, inventory and financial management
