  • This enables the farmers and buyers to have greater control over the trade and enables them to make informed decisions.

  • After crop listing and online negotiation, a deal is struck, advance payment is made and an estimated invoice is generated.

  • Once the harvest is completed, the final count, quantity of material is verified, the final amount is decided and delivery challan is issued. 
  • Once the material reaches the processing plant, the final invoice is generated and the exporter makes the balance payment. 
  • This payment is reflected in the escrow account. NaCSA verifies it and accordingly releases the payment to farmers.
