The objective of this project is to develop a -productive model for production, procurement, distribution and marketing of safe and quality fruits and vegetables for the premium consumers of Bangladesh. ACI wants to develop a preferred supplier network for the company to have better quality product. ACI will be working closely with DAI to facilitate strengthening of backward and forward linkage points and various activities with the farmers. The linkage will be established through an online platform through which customers can interact with their sellers conveniently and ACI will take the lead to materialize such a platform. ACI will also play a leading role in the branding/promotion of the platform to ensure the business viability of this model. As a result of this initiative consumers can access quality agricultural products from their home and farmers can expect to get greater prices for their produces.
