For farmers & FPOs

More of the price, back to the grower.

Most Indian farmers sell small lots through long chains of middlemen, with little say over price. Sunspica is building direct buyer access, clearer price signals and advice in your language, starting with the problems farmers tell us about.

The problem

What farmers tell us is broken

Prices set by others

Without live market information, the first offer at the farm gate is often the only offer.

Few direct buyers

Processors and retailers rarely buy from individual growers, so produce passes through several hands.

Losses after harvest

Without nearby cold storage or quick transport, perishable crops lose quality and value within days.

Advice that does not fit

Guidance is often generic, in the wrong language, or arrives too late in the season to act on.
