Supply Chain Data
Farmer Share in Traditional Supply Chains (35-40%)
Research indicates that farmers in Nepal's traditional agricultural supply chains receive only 35-40% of the final retail price, with the remainder captured by intermediaries.
Methodology: Survey of 500 farmers across 15 districts, tracking product prices from farm gate to retail over 12 months
Fresh Doko Target: 50%+ Farmer Share
By eliminating intermediaries and connecting farmers directly with buyers, Fresh Doko targets maintaining 50%+ farmer share of retail price.
Methodology: Transaction analysis across 200+ direct farmer partnerships, comparing farm gate prices to final sale prices
Blockchain Technology
Blockchain for Agricultural Traceability
Blockchain technology enables immutable record-keeping of farmer data, harvest dates, weather conditions, and product journey from farm to consumer, ensuring complete transparency and preventing fraud.
Implementation: Fresh Doko uses distributed ledger technology to record all transactions, accessible via QR codes on product packaging
Environmental Impact
Carbon Emissions Reduction
Single-point supply chains significantly reduce carbon emissions by eliminating multiple transport and storage stages typical of traditional distribution networks.
Methodology: Comparison of transport kilometers and cold storage duration between traditional (5-7 intermediaries) and direct (1-point) models
Sustainable Packaging
Fresh Doko uses biodegradable and recyclable materials for all product packaging, minimizing environmental impact and plastic waste.
Commitment: 100% of packaging materials sourced from sustainable suppliers
