Inspiration
Facing changes in weather and uncertain natural factors, farmers often get imperfect yields or what is commonly referred to as Imperfect Harvest. Imperfect Harvest has different shapes, sizes, and appearances according to consumer demand. Farmers have difficulty marketing imperfect harvest products because supermarkets or agricultural product sales sites generally want perfect harvests. As a result, often imperfect agricultural products are left alone and even discarded by farmers because their market prices are very low. As a result of this imperfect harvest, the loss of agricultural product yields is higher. Most agricultural products are wasted. Meanwhile, the need for food in Indonesia is very large. In addition to having a negative impact on food sustainability, imperfect harvests that are left alone will rot and pollute the environment.
What it does
Imperfarm tries to assist farmers in marketing imperfect harvest products. We know the owners of MSMEs engaged in the food sector. MSME actors will spend less because they buy directly from farmers through this platform. Thus, the existence of Imperfarm not only helps small businesses minimize production costs and help farmers market their imperfect harvest products, but also preserves the environment and food sustainability.
