Hey Rohit hope you’re doing great, I actually had a very similar idea back in junior college, so this resonates with me. One of the main challenges I noticed is that farmers usually produce a single crop in large quantities, not a mix of different vegetables at the same time. For example, a farmer might grow tomatoes or onions, but not both, since each crop needs specific soil, fertilizers, and a few months of growth time. This creates two issues: 1. Surplus of one item – A farmer may harvest, say, 1,000 kg of tomatoes, but selling in small portions (like 5 kg each) isn’t feasible or profitable. If even 10% of that spoils, the farmer loses significantly. 2. Dependency on middlemen – Middlemen often demand exclusivity, forcing farmers to sell their entire produce to them. Farmers can’t split sales between middlemen and direct buyers, so they’re stuck.

To solve this at scale, you’d likely need a strong cold storage and distribution infrastructure. That way, you can buy entire harvests, store them safely, and redistribute them to schools, canteens, and institutions. The challenge is that perishable goods especially vegetables must be sold within just a few days, which is tough to manage without right inventory and logistics. For managing cold storage and logistics it is going to cost you a lot of money. Also you have to buy various vegetables in bulk quantities so it is going to cost a lot again. If you fail to distribute them properly like on Sundays or weekends schools and offices are non working days you might face the loss. solution feels strong if paired with a backend system that ensures supply chain stability, storage, and fast turnover. If those parts are secured, you might win but again all this needs not just a lot of money but it also needs the right data and right team. If you still have any doubts, feel free to text me
