The Problem

Fraud is killing inter-state onion trade

India's onion trade flows billions from Nashik to UP, Bihar, Bengal and beyond. But endemic fraud patterns are destroying trader trust — and shrinking the entire market.

🚨 Bikri Under-Reporting Fraud

Distribution traders under-report actual sale prices. The procurement trader has no independent witness and zero recourse — even on ₹4–5 lakh consignments.

🚨 Bilti Quality-Denial Fraud

Distribution traders claim goods arrived damaged to deny payment — even when quality was perfect at dispatch. No neutral verifier exists at destination.

⚠️ Reverse Bilti Risk

Procurement traders dispatch poor-quality inventory to distribution traders who paid advance — absorbing full losses across state lines with no recourse.

The APMC Floor — Where It All Starts

Procurement traders at Nashik APMC bid every morning. What happens next is where Cropico changes everything.

Trade Models

Two models. One trusted partner.

Cropico operates two structured trade models designed for the specific risks of the Nashik–UP corridor.

Bikri Model

Market-Rate Sales with Full Transparency

Procurement trader dispatches inventory. Cropico's on-ground agents record every sale in real-time. Net proceeds remitted after deductions — no information asymmetry possible.

1
Cropico issues Demand Request specifying quantity, variety, size grade, and dispatch date.
2
Quality inspection at dispatch. Procurement Report submitted on Cropico letterhead.
3
Cropico field agent at destination mandi — every transaction recorded in real time on tablet.
4
Procurement trader has live read-access to sales data. No black box — ever.
5
Net remittance transferred same day. Payment guaranteed even if distribution trader defaults.
🌾
Bilti Model

Fixed-Price Marketplace with Payment Assurance

Cropico connects procurement and distribution traders at a fixed negotiated price, with quality assurance at dispatch and full payment guarantee to procurement traders.

1
Cropico matches procurement trader with verified distribution trader — identities protected until deal confirmed.
2
Fixed price negotiated. Quality inspection by Cropico inspector at procurement end before dispatch.
3
Consignment dispatched with quality record — distribution trader cannot deny quality in good faith.
4
Cropico guarantees payment to procurement trader. Distribution trader default risk absorbed by Cropico.
🤝
The Full Trade Cycle

Every step — documented, verified, guaranteed

From the onion farm in Nashik to the distribution mandi in UP — Cropico is present at every single stage.

🌾
Onion farm
01

Onion Farm — The Origin

Every consignment begins on the red-soil farms of Nashik — India's onion capital. Cropico tracks variety, harvest conditions, and supply availability before the first APMC bid.
