As a farmer with small land holdings we face regular issues of selling our crops directly to market. We have to depend upon the number of middle men in between for the sale of our crop and then also we don’t get the right market price. At this time the rate of our crop is regulated by middlemen and we have to rely on them only as we don’t have any other options. But through Nkosh app we can get the knowledge about the market prices and we can sell our crop directly through App to someone who can give us better pricing that that will be a big boon for us, it will increase our income and we won’t be cash trapped.

We run a small business where we sell pickles, tea, kadha, spices etc locally. We have to heavily rely on local options for the raw materials which driver the input cost of the product and then we have sell them a t lower margins at market. At local market the volumes are pretty low and we are just doing it on minimal margins for the sake of surviving it. Through Nkosh app we will get the options of selling our products to wider market segment and may be some distribution options at other state markets. We will also be benefitted on the raw material supply side of it also and get the relevant materials for our ready products and at better margins.

Main issue with us is that we don’t have the knowledge of right market linkages either for selling of the crops or buying the inputs such as seeds, fertilizers etc at sowing time. We have to look for local solution that is the main reason we get low productivity for our crops and at the time of selling them we don’t get the right prices. If through Nkosh app we can get both solution at the time of sowing and then selling then at harvesting time then it will definitely boost our morale and we can explore other markets also.
