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.
