Agrograde
India
Agrograde offers affordable, AI-enabled grading and sorting machines designed to evaluate and categorize horticultural crops based on quality. The startup collaborates with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and aggregators to enhance the marketability of produce and improve trade transparency. This fosters fair pricing based on quality and grade while eliminating unfair practices. Agrograde’s digital solutions provide AI-based custom tools for all aspects of the agricultural supply chain, helping users achieve higher returns and reducing manual subjectivity in their processes. Their mobile app offers a quality overview of fresh fruits and vegetables, generating quality reports that assist users in negotiations with buyers. With this report, farmers can communicate directly with enterprises or buyers to secure better prices for their produce. Additionally, the app helps users understand which qualities are suited for different buyers, optimizing their returns.
