4 KEY IDEAS

At AGRARI we work on the basis of 4 values:

• EQUITY: We defend an equal supply chain between actors, as well as those agrarian spaces in which women play a fundamental role.

• COMMUNITY: We are collaborative people and work together to achieve a common goal.

• SUSTAINABILITY: We want to create a fair consumption system that can be repeated over time.

• CHANGE: We drive the change we want to see in the world.

AND CONCRETELY, WHAT WILL WE DO?

Thanks to you, we will be able to optimise our service and improve the management of orders, being able to execute them without errors and in record time. In addition, together we will be able to manage more than 20 orders per day, a number that is currently impossible due to the size of the warehouse and the operations that are not very digitalised.

So when you place your order, an alert will be sent to the farmer, who will get to work preparing the order. After that, we will go to his warehouse to take the order to our logistics centre, where we will finish preparing the box using an automated checklist, to finally send it to your home on the same day using an e-courier company.

On the other hand, thanks to the marketing and customer management tools, we want to get 500 new customers, which means that we will be able to help 30 farmers to receive a decent remuneration.

In this way, AGRARI differentiates itself from its competitors with its fast service, where the customer receives his order the same day after ordering. AGRARI's competitors usually have only one or two delivery days per week and within a limited time frame. In order to meet the requirements and convenience of each consumer, our company delivers every day in the morning and in the afternoon.

This makes AGRARI an excellent alternative, offering a higher quality, more sustainable and more social product with the same convenience as other products with longer supply chains.

The motivation for the project was born when Jaume joined a consumer group in his neighbourhood. He liked the idea of receiving produce from the countryside, but ended up abandoning it because the orders were weekly and it was difficult to schedule his purchases. On the other hand, Jesús was not convinced by the existing solutions either: the municipal markets are only open in the morning and he could not go there because he worked during those hours.

This is how the idea of bringing local produce closer to him with the utmost convenience came about. Our project is aimed at all those people who find it difficult to consume local products and cannot find convenient solutions. People who want to act in a sustainable way but the pace of our society does not allow them to do so.

Currently the project has a community that supports us with more than a thousand followers on Instagram and three thousand on Tik Tok where people interested in the agricultural world and a more sustainable consumption model can be found. Two videos have already exceeded 100,000 views and we have received more than 20,000 likes.

Finally, at the beginning of the project we defined our purpose as a team and project, why we do it and what drives us, the reasons being the following:

• To seek the common good and to have people and the community at the centre.
• To help farmers and dignify their work.
• To create an alternative model and do things differently.
• To show that young people are capable and valid to change the world we live in
