whats your view on making farmers enabled to sell directly to consumers??

That would be win win for both consumer and farmer. Even i was thinking of such idea. Where i will go and approch these farmers and purchase crops from them and sell it in cities (directly to consumer or retailer)

Yea it is but isn't that very hard to possible as they barely get time after doing farming also maintaining farming and selling simultaneously will be a headache for them

We will tale care of them! We will actually make there life easy. We will approach the farmers and fix a price (month before). So farmers know that they will get a fixed price. And when the crops are ready, we will send our trucks to purchase them

No but think like B2C process only few consumer will get to farmers and most of them will buy in market because market is accessible and farmers aren't.

I'm not saying that end consumer will go yo farms and buy 1 kg tomato. I'm saying is to create a company which buys crops from farmers and sell that crops to consumer via our platform. Frazzo was one company which was doing similar work

Oh I got it but is it sustainable coz there is margin issue and quality issues as well wastage is another concern also. Margins maybe decent but again making networking. Also if brand is associated with the product the product itself becomes expensive and consumer will always be doubtful about freshness. It may look good from outside but it's not good in my opinion.

Margin: no issues since farmers usually get paid very less and we will.have no middle man Quality: farm grown Wastage: excess crops can be sold to local market hawkers (sabji wala) Networks: spend a week finding and talking to different farmers. If one farmer rejects, then move to another. Distribution: start with using delivery companies like porter and if it works, then buy your own trucks. Consumer doubts: that will remain untill they buy for first time Final Thoughts: as you also said it looks good from outside. But would we hard and thus many companies failed in this business, even frazzo.

What would you suggest someone who's planning on resigning their current decent job for growth opportunities? How's the job market now? Is it dumb to leave a decent enough job but where the learning got limited with time?
