WHY A COORDINATION LAYER
Fragmentation is the bottleneck, not any single stage.
Producers lack scale
Individual operations rarely carry enough consistent volume to reach institutional buyers or premium processing slots on their own.
Processing capacity is scarce
USDA-inspected capacity in the region is limited and unevenly scheduled, and access favors whoever can commit volume furthest in advance.
Buyers cannot verify provenance
Without a shared record from land to harvest, buyers seeking documented regional supply have no consistent way to confirm it.
