Cross Sell opportunities:
- Given the direct farmer interaction, we have an ever increasing network of farmers and collect granular data on them which can be leveraged to sell other products to them. We are keen to explore partnerships with other companies looking to initiate a dialogue with farmers.
Warehouse owners:
- Help landlords to unlock the value of their warehouse infrastructure in the villages.
- Derisk their income by leasing out their warehouses for a longer time period.
Logistics Partners:
- Help local logistics companies or operators to engage throughout the year to optimise the load management to move grains from our GrainBank to processing centres or end buyer locations.
