Opportunity BasketHarvest Aggregation & Direct-to-Buyer Cooperative Network
A physical cooperative that aggregates harvests from 50–200 small-scale farmers in a region, consolidates crops by type and quality, handles basic storage and grading, and sells directly to bulk buyers (food processors, exporters, institutional buyers, wholesalers). Farmers deliver to a central collection point; the cooperative handles logistics, negotiation, and payment distribution. No middlemen; transparent pricing.
32 weeks • 70% confidence
Value Proposition
Farmers get 20–35% higher prices than selling individually to middlemen, guaranteed offtake, and payment within 7 days. Buyers get consistent quality, volume, and traceability. The cooperative eliminates spoilage through rapid aggregation and storage, and captures margin on volume.
Target Audience

Key Features
- Regional collection centers with basic cold storage (for perishables) and drying facilities

Ghanaian farmers cannot find buyers for their harvest, even at discounted pricesSmall-scale farmers in Ghana produce crops but lack access to reliable market channels and buyers, forcing them to either waste their harvest or sell at unsustainably low prices that don't cover production costs. Current distribution systems fail to connect farmers directly with buyers, leaving them trapped in a broken supply chain where middlemen exploit them or no sales occur at all.
