Why contract buyers

Grow with a buyer already waiting

Selling on contract takes the guesswork out of selling. You grow to an agreed plan, for an agreed price.

  • Know your income first

    The rate is agreed before you plant, so you can plan your investment and your loan around a fixed income.

  • No market price swings

    Your rate does not fall when the mandi price drops at harvest time.

  • Long-term demand

    Contracts can run from a one-time purchase up to several years, with a fixed delivery schedule.

  • Clear quality grades

    Grades and their prices are written into the contract, so you know what each grade will earn.

The contract

What is fixed in writing before you plant

Every contract is a written farming agreement between you and the buyer. It sets out:

  • Rate for each grade

    The price per kg for Grade A, Grade B and Grade C produce.

  • Quantity and delivery schedule

    How much you supply and how often, for example a set number of kg every few days.

  • Contract period

    From a one-time purchase to a multi-year contract.

  • Payment terms

    Part payment on delivery, and the balance after the produce meets the quality standards.

  • Delivery rules

    What happens if a delivery is late or missed, and any amount held back until the contract is complete.

  • Packaging and quality

    How the produce is packed and the quality standards it must meet.
