• Traditional channel behavior – which focuses on stock clearance & margins and promotes adulteration (India records up to 58% adulteration)
• Limited access to quality agri-inputs including seeds, fertilizers and pesticides
• Low mechanization rate (~40%) compared to developed countries

SOCIAL IMPACT
As of 2019, there are 135 million families who are totally dependent on Agriculture. Due to high illiteracy (~40%) in Rural India, an average agricultural household earns INR 6,426 per month only. So, BehtarZindagi is trying to build a marketplace that can upgrade the life of Indian farmers and support them to earn 100% more than what they earn today. This is possible by enhancing their farming methodology and connecting them to a trusted and efficient agricultural ecosystem.
