The problem

The problem is timing, not demand.

Farmers are pressured to sell during harvest gluts. Buyers need reliable off-season supply. Traditional intermediaries fragment quality, data, and margin.

Liquidity pressure

Harvest-time cash needs force distressed selling into the same glut window.

Buyer reliability gap

Organized buyers need predictable off-season supply, not one-off spot market fills.

Fragmented intermediaries

Data, quality, finance, and margin split across too many hands.

Glut / buy Store / hold Gap / release $0.22/kg $0.45/kg Buy pressure Hold and monitor Release window $0.45/kg

How Vervana works

Why now

Three infrastructure shifts make Vervana possible today.

01

Quality-controlled inventory is financeable

Cold-chain and warehouse pathways make graded capsicum inventory operationally financeable.

02

Modern buyers need reliable supply

Q-commerce, retail, HoReCa, and processors need consistent, traceable sourcing.

03

AI can guide release decisions

Mandi data, demand signals, spoilage risk, and lot economics enable auditable decisions.

Initial wedge

Initial wedge: bell peppers / capsicum

Capsicum is volatile enough to create a timing wedge, valuable enough to justify quality-controlled storage, and demanded enough by organized buyers to support reliable release windows.

Landed cost ~$0.25/kg
Release $0.39-0.48/kg
