Farmer-Owned Aggregation (India)
Farmer-owned organisations collect from member farmers, process, test quality, and pack with QR-coded lot traceability.
Indo-US cooperative linkage
How HarvestLink Works
A member-governed institution on the demand side, matched with farmer-owned organisations on the supply side.
This is not a charity model, a remittance scheme, or a cultural nostalgia project. It is a structural market intervention: a member-governed institution on the demand side matched with democratically governed institutions on the supply side.
Disintermediated supply chain with better returns to farmers and pure products at better pricing for members.
