Veggiebag

Veggiebag will be an e-commerce site that links farmers and consumers,which provide fresh and hygienic farm products. This rules out the middlemen who are involved in the price hike. As a result,consumers(urban and rural) would get farm products at an affordable price.

There were two farmers in a rural area.One is Mark,who uses chemicals on his crops to increase the yield.The other is Thomas,who uses organic method of farming,although his yield is less.Both of them came to know about an e-commercial site called Veggiebag.They registered on the site.They completed their 'profile of the season' by giving details of the type of product,expected quantity during harvest,period for ripening etc.They went back to fields.Harvesting season arrived,and they harvested their products.They then opened Veggiebag,and clicked 'sell'.They were asked about the details of chemicals used(name,amount,method of application) if any, amount of products,date and location of pickup etc. Mark gave a wrong information that his vegetables were organic,and no chemicals were used.Veggiebag pickup van arrived and the products were taken to the 'Veggiebag testing and storing center'.During testing it was found that vegetables from Mark's farm had some chemicals sprayed in it.Mark's vegetables were degraded to 'CLASS 2',while Thomas's fruits stayed in 'CLASS 1'.Mark was informed about the problem,and he was given two choices.Either to sell it on CLASS 2,or to take back his products.He opted for selling it.CLASS 2 products were moved for a processing that removes the surface chemicals,CLASS 1 products were moved for cleaning and storing.During this time,a rich woman called Martha were searching for organic fruits and found it on the search results.She bought it.Another woman called Evelyn wanted vegetables at a very low cost.She ordered CLASS 2 vegetables. 

Here ends the story.Veggiebag offers hygienic processed products to consumers at a very low cost.This would be highly feasible in cities due to the advancement in technology and transportation in cities.Also,the CLASS 1 products referred here would be cheaper than the normal products what we get now at a very high cost,due to the play of middlemen.

City dwellers face the problem of getting vegetables and fruits free of chemicals,or atleast having very less chemical content,at an affordble price.Veggiebag helps both urban as well as rural residents.Common people were not able to get details about the purity of vegetables and fruits they consume.But with Veggiebag,they would be perfectly aware of the things they eat, and get the fresh products at a low price.

This is a very practical solution that is particularly feasible in cities.This proposal will certainly succeed as its predecessors did.The predecessor of this project is online shopping.

This proposal is revolutionary.It helps common people, and improve their quality of living.People will start getting quality food products at low cost.Also people can trust their food, as each product goes after a quality check.

Main beneficiaries of this project is common people.A website along with an app can be the perfect way of deploying this project.

This solution uses the technological aspect during the processing of the food,to make it contamination free.Vegetables and fruits get tested for chemical contamination.Cleaning of products are also done.

Apart from this,funds can be raised to provide free food to the weaker section.But this could be done only after Veggiebag become established.

The whole Veggiebag thing involve common middle class people a lot.From pickup to delivery, a lot of processes are controlled by a section of people who are neither too rich,nor too poor.This will open up a lot off job opportunities too.

Anyone with an internet connection would be able to get access to this world of classified clean food products.Customers can enter the Veggiebag website for purchases,and mobile application also would be available.

This is a financially stable project, as it generates profit.A small percentage of the product's purchase cost from the farmer will be added and the sum will be the selling price to the customer.This money could be used for maintenance,research  and development etc.

Limitations are:

1.The demand can be fluctuating.Storage must use advanced technologies so that the food products do not get contaminated or spoiled.

2. Natural calamities like floods,droughts etc can affect supply.But the supply chain if vast could solve the problem.

3.Logistics should be customized to maintain the freshness of food products.

I am applying this with a dream of making my project a reality, and help millions of people to nourishment.

As of now,Veggiebag is just a concept.It has no partners.But Veggiebag would like to partnership with global giants like Amazon.com,so that Veggiebag's services could be availed worldwide.

No competitors.
