SERVICES
In-depth solutions along the agricultural value curve
Nine services, three groups, one sequence: Market → Processing plant → Growing areas. Choose the market first, the machines second.
Along the agricultural value chain, the two ends retain profit margins of 16–27%, while the middle earns only 2.5–4.9% (see the value curve). AgrifoodV services help businesses move up toward both ends and organize the middle efficiently, starting from accurate market intelligence and a network of buyers in the main export markets.

Frequently asked questions
Which service should I start with?
Most clients start with Group 1 (Market), because the market determines the product, the plant and the growing areas. If this is not yet clear, the initial discussion will help identify the right starting point.
Can small businesses or cooperatives work with you?
Yes. The scope of work is designed around each client’s scale and stage of development.
Does AgrifoodV guarantee sales?
We help identify markets, prepare products and connect you with suitable buyers. Purchase terms are agreed directly between the two parties; we do not promise volumes or selling prices in advance.
How are costs calculated?
According to the scope of work. After the initial discussion and diagnosis, we send a written proposal covering the work to be done, deliverables, timeline and cost.
