Perungo - Produce Marketplace Linking Nepali Smallholder Farmers with Kathmandu Kitchens

Dashboard, orders, order detail with lot trace, matching board and intake & grading. Every one of the 25 demo orders opens its own detail page.

Grade factors of 1, 0.85 and 0.65 turn each day's imported Kalimati average into a farmer price band and a buyer sell price, labelled as client policy.

52 screens: 32 in the operator console, 11 in the farmer and aggregator app and 9 in the buyer web and app, plus 5 slide-over panels.

16 buyers across 5 segments, 19 farmers, aggregators and cooperatives, 14 produce items, 6 collection points, 51 listings and 16 lots on 4 collection runs.

Prices Known After the Sale

A grower usually sold through two or three middlemen and learned the price after the truck left. The operator needed a fair, visible price per grade every morning, set from the Kalimati market average rather than a phone call.

Sellers Who Read Little

Many farmers use low-end Android phones on 3G and read little or not at all. Listing produce, accepting orders and checking payments has to work with pictures, large numbers and Nepali voice, or through a field agent in the village.

Matching by Memory

Orders close at 18:00 for next-morning delivery, and spinach and mustard greens have a best-before of 36 hours at the hub. Without one view of ordered against listed kg, short items were found too late and surplus spoiled in the cold room.

Quality, Money and Nepali Rules

Downgrades and buyer complaints had no photo trail, payouts and unpaid buyer balances were tracked in a spreadsheet, and invoices must show both PANs, VAT only on taxable charges and the Bikram Sambat fiscal year, with payments through Nepal Rastra Bank licensed providers.
