Rythu Bazaar Direct: A Hyper-
Local Food Network
Eliminating the middleman through smart logistics and community-driven
demand aggregation to create a profitable farm-to-fork model.
The Problem: An Inefficient Supply
Chain
The current agricultural supply chain is burdened by excessive intermediaries, resulting in
lower profits for farmers and high costs for consumers.
Low Farmer Profit High Consumer Prices
Farmers receive only a fraction of the Consumers pay a premium for
final price paid, making sustainable produce that often lacks freshness
farming financially challenging. due to long transportation and storage
times.
Logistics Overheads
Individual small orders are
uneconomical to deliver, forcing
reliance on traditional, slow, and
expensive distribution channels.
Our Vision: Rythu Bazaar Direct
Developing a mobile-first platform that creates a direct, transparent, and profitable link between local farmers and end
consumers or small businesses.
Optimised Delivery
Hyper-Local Connection

set competitive, fair prices. vicinity, ensuring maximum
freshness.
The Innovation: Order Pooling & Smart Logistics
Our "Wow Factor" is solving the logistics challenge of small, individual household orders by aggregating demand.
1. Hyper-Local Clustering
The platform groups farmers and buyers based on geographical proximity
(e.g., buyers in LB Nagar seeing farmers in Ibrahimpatnam).
2. Order Pooling Mechanism
• Orders from an entire apartment building or neighbourhood are combined.
• The system aggregates these small, individual orders into one large,
economical order for the farmers.
• Example: "Saturday Morning Delivery for Hillside Apartments".
Optimised Delivery Engine
The delivery mechanism transforms a scattered set of pickups into a highly efficient single route, minimising fuel, time, and labour costs.

Core Features for the Prototype
We will focus on four crucial features to prove the concept and demonstrate technical viability.

Easy-to-use interface for farmers to list availability, upload Consumer interface allowing buyers to join groups (e.g., their
photos, set prices, and view a "Harvest Calendar" for future building) for pooled, discount-eligible orders.
