Across every state and every commodity — maize, wheat, paddy, rice, makhana — India's agri-commodity trade still runs through the same unregulated middleman. Farmers and FPOs selling into it face the same opaque weighing and delayed payment. Institutional buyers sourcing from it face the same fragmented, unverifiable supply. Neither side has a platform built for them.
of India's farmers are smallholders — too small and scattered, on their own, to negotiate with anyone
Agriculture Census 2015–16One handoff invites a middleman who cuts, delays and hides the scale. The other doesn't.


The old system asks farmers to absorb the risk and buyers to absorb the uncertainty. PRAAJ was built to remove both. Pick your path.
Whatever you process — feed, starch, ethanol, or export — PRAAJ supplies quality-graded, audit-ready volume across maize, wheat, paddy, rice and makhana, on contracted terms with named account management.

Trade Shouldn't Cost This Much
A supply chain farmers can trust, buyers can rely on — where value never quietly leaks out at the handoff.
Payment lands in 24 hours, not 21 days.
Every dispatch, fully documented.
Built for decades, not seasons.
This is what an unorganized market actually costs — for the seller putting grain on the scale, and for the buyer trying to source it reliably — judged head-to-head against PRAAJ.
| Operational Factor | PRAAJ Comtrade Model (Organized) | The Unorganized Market |
|---|---|---|
| For Sellers — Farmers & FPOs | ||
| Weighment Transparency | Manual scales, high manipulation risk | |
| Payment Settlement | Cash delays spanning 7–21 days | |
| Quality Assay Standards | Visual guesswork, arbitrary price cuts | |
| Middleman Cut | 2% to 5% commission margins | |
| For Buyers — Institutional Buyers | ||
| Sourcing Accountability | Fragmented, no single accountable supplier | |
| Batch Consistency | ||

On a 20 MT truckload at ₹2,150/quintal — roughly ₹4.3 Lakh — that's ₹21,500 either lost to an unverified cut, or paid straight into a farmer's account.
Three steps replace every layer the old system added between a farm and a factory gate.
Two verticals are live and operating today. Four more are how we're building the rest of the method above.
