Pain Point #1
Seed Supply – unreliable, untimely, and
difficult to acquire---the process to acquire is
often full of bureaucratic delays and lack of
transparency.
Pain Point #3:
Industrial Processing– where do cultivators
take production for processing? Where do they
store it? Who are the wholesale buyers? What
is the market price?
Pain Point #2
Weed and insect control - “We saw a lot of
plant disease last year.” –Ron Turco
