Treta Farm (OPC) Private Limited is an agri-tech startup focused on building a farmer-to-consumer digital marketplace that aims to strengthen the agricultural value chain by directly connecting farmers with end consumers. The core objective of Treta Farm is to improve farmer income, reduce inefficiencies in the traditional supply system, and provide consumers with access to quality, traceable, and fairly priced farm products.
In the existing agricultural ecosystem, small and marginal farmers face significant challenges in selling their produce. Due to the presence of multiple intermediaries such as traders, agents, and wholesalers, farmers often receive low prices for their products. At the same time, consumers pay higher prices without any assurance of quality, source, or transparency. This long and fragmented supply chain also leads to increased food wastage, lack of accountability, and uneven price distribution across the market.
Treta Farm addresses these challenges through a business model innovation that restructures the traditional supply chain. The startup sources agricultural products directly from local farmers and makes them available to consumers through a digital commerce platform. By removing middlemen, Treta Farm ensures that farmers receive fair and transparent pricing for their produce while consumers benefit from better quality products at reasonable rates.
The business focuses on essential food categories such as pulses, edible oils, spices, cereals, and oilseeds. Products are procured directly from farmers, processed under quality standards, and prepared for sale through proper packaging and labeling. Quality testing and compliance with food safety regulations are integral parts of the business model to ensure consumer trust and product reliability.
Treta Farm follows a hybrid operating model that integrates offline farmer sourcing with online product sales. Farmers are onboarded at the local level, where procurement, quality checks, and aggregation are carried out. The digital platform enables order management, customer interaction, and product visibility, allowing the business to operate efficiently while maintaining close relationships with farmers.
The startup primarily operates under a direct-to-consumer (B2C) revenue model, generating income through margin-based product sales. In future phases, Treta Farm plans to expand into subscription-based household supply models and bulk or institutional sales, enabling stable demand and predictable revenue streams. This scalable model allows the business to grow with increased farmer participation and expanding consumer reach.
Beyond commercial objectives, Treta Farm also aims to create social and economic impact in rural areas. By providing farmers with a direct market and transparent pricing, the startup contributes to income stability and encourages sustainable agricultural practices. Local sourcing reduces transportation distance, helps lower carbon footprint, and supports regional agricultural ecosystems.
Treta Farm is currently at the pilot stage, with successful offline sales conducted to validate product quality, pricing, and customer demand. The digital platform has been developed and tested internally, and the upcoming phase focuses on final packaging, regulatory compliance, and formal market launch.
With support under the Uttar Pradesh Startup Policy, Treta Farm intends to strengthen its operational capacity, complete compliance requirements, expand farmer onboarding, and scale its digital marketplace. The long-term vision of the startup is to build a trusted local food brand that empowers farmers, ensures food transparency, and delivers sustainable value to consumers and the agricultural community.
