Cropico connects procurement traders at Nashik APMC with distribution traders at UP mandis — with guaranteed floor prices, live transaction visibility, and quality-assured delivery on every consignment.
India's onion trade flows billions from Nashik to UP, Bihar, Bengal and beyond. But deep-rooted trust deficits between procurement and distribution traders are shrinking the market for everyone.
Distribution traders under-report actual sale prices. Procurement traders have no independent witness and no recourse — even on ₹4–5 lakh consignments that took weeks to organise.
Distribution traders claim goods arrived damaged to reduce payment — even when quality was certified at dispatch. Without a neutral verifier, there is no way to prove otherwise.
Procurement traders send inventory worth lakhs across state lines with no guarantee of recovery. Late payments, partial payments, and settlement disputes are common.
Once the truck leaves Nashik, the procurement trader is completely blind. They have no way to verify prices, transaction volumes, or buyer identities until the settlement arrives.
Cropico's Hybrid Distribution Model is designed so that neither procurement traders nor distribution traders can be cheated — every commercial term is locked before dispatch, every transaction is visible in real time.
Cropico operates as a structured trade facilitation platform — connecting procurement traders at Nashik APMC with verified distribution traders at UP mandis, with financial protections and quality safeguards built into every consignment.
Commercial terms — including price floors and quality standards — are agreed and documented before any consignment is dispatched. No surprises at settlement.
Quality inspection at Nashik APMC before loading. Photographic documentation of each lot — creating a certified dispatch record that neither party can dispute.
Cropico's field coordinator at the distribution mandi records every sale transaction in real time. Procurement traders have live read access — buyer, bags, weight, price, timestamp — on their phone as it happens.
Procurement traders receive their guaranteed floor price regardless of market fluctuation. Quality adjustments, if any, are applied from a pre-agreed table — not at the distribution trader's discretion.
Daily settlement by 5 PM. Final settlement within 72 hours of last sale. An insurance mechanism covers exceptional market scenarios. Cropico earns a transparent 2% platform fee — 1% from each side.

From the onion farm in Nashik to the distribution mandi in UP — Cropico is present and accountable at every single stage.
Every consignment begins at the red-soil farms of Nashik — India's onion capital. Cropico tracks variety, harvest conditions, and supply availability before the first APMC bid.
Cropico's team builds real-time procurement intelligence from the Nashik APMC — capturing price ranges, lot availability, and arrival volumes. Every procurement decision is data-driven.
Lots are graded to exact size specifications and packed. A quality inspection creates an independent photographic record at dispatch. What leaves Nashik is exactly what was promised — certified.
30-tonne consignments dispatched with formal documentation — transport receipt, quality certificate, pre-arrival receipt for UP entry. Every dispatch detail tracked from loading to delivery.
Cropico's field coordinator is present at the UP mandi from arrival to settlement. Every transaction recorded in real time. Procurement traders have live read access — zero blind spots, ever.
Procurement traders receive their guaranteed price. Daily settlements by 5 PM. Final settlement within 72 hours. Cropico's structured financial framework ensures every rupee is accounted for.
Partial solutions don't convince traders to switch. Cropico addresses every layer of the trust and transparency problem simultaneously — at both ends of the corridor.
Procurement traders receive a guaranteed minimum price on every consignment — independent of market fluctuation. Your capital is protected from the moment you dispatch.
Every sale recorded by a Cropico field coordinator the moment it happens. Procurement traders see live mandi data — price, weight, bags, buyer type — with zero lag, on their phone.
Independent photographic quality record created at Nashik before every consignment leaves. Quality disputes at destination become unambiguous — evidence exists before transit.
An insurance mechanism covers exceptional market scenarios — ensuring all parties are protected even in conditions beyond anyone's control. Premium built into trade costs.
