MAHASTHANGARH AGRI-VALUE HUB

Transaction standard · First-site operating model · Bogra

A working nursery economy.
A fragmented route to market.

One first site should prove that scheduled collection, one recorded grade and confirmed buyer terms improve the route before capital is released.

STATUSOpen for first-site funding
PROPOSED GEOGRAPHYMahasthangarh area, Shibganj, Bogra
REPORTED REGIONAL CONTEXT≈300 nurseries · ≈30 crore seedlings · 250–300 acres
CAPITAL RULEBuild only after the site, operator and buyer terms are confirmed

01 · THE ECONOMY ALREADY OPERATING

The route does not begin with a project.

Nursery owners produce at scale. Traders, transporters and buyers move the seedlings. MAVH records the main handovers: time, loss, price and payment.

These figures show regional scale, not MAVH demand, throughput, outcomes or operator viability.

02 · FOLLOW ONE ACCOUNTABLE LOT

Follow one lot from production to producer choice.

The same batch record carries custody, timing, grade, deductions and payment through every handover.

03 · WHAT THE FIRST SITE ADDS

One operator. One lot record. Three accountable handovers.

The proposed site links the production catchment, recorded hub custody and confirmed buyer route without replacing producer choice.

02MAVH first siteOne grade, named custody and recorded dispatch
03Buyer routeWritten terms, acceptance and payment reconciled
PRODUCER CONTROL

Participation remains voluntary.

Producers can join the shared route, compare the result and sell elsewhere.

ONE BATCH RECORD

Custody and condition travel together.

Collection, grade, dispatch, buyer acceptance and deductions remain attached to the lot.

PAYMENT RECONCILIATION

The route closes only when settlement is recorded.

Net realised value is calculated after transport, fees, deductions and payment time.

04 · BEFORE CAPITAL MOVES

What must be true before we build.

Three gates control the first capital release.

01

Producer demand

BASELINE REQUIRED
Required proof

Catchment, travel, fees, seasonal volume and repeat-use demand.

Release condition

Measured demand can support regular use of the site.

02

Buyer route

TERMS REQUIRED
Required proof

Written grades, volumes, dispatch rhythm, deductions and payment terms.

Release condition

The proposed route improves producer net value against comparable sales.

03

Operator economics

BUDGET REQUIRED
Required proof

Named operator, staffing, utilisation, fees and operating reserve.

Release condition

The first-season budget and cost-recovery plan are credible.

WORKING THRESHOLDS

Set the baseline before treating these as commitments.

ACTIVE USERS500

Working target; repeat-use threshold still to be set.

LOSS OR DOWNGRADE−20%

Measured after the crop and route baseline.

NET PRODUCER PRICE+7%

After fees, transport and deductions.

BEFORE BUILD

Release capital only after all three gates are evidenced and approved.

ROUTE VERIFIED ONLY AFTER THREE GATES · CURRENT DECISION

Verify the route.
Then fund one season.

The accountable-lot route exposes the remaining decision: verify producer demand, buyer terms and operating responsibility before funding one season.

01Verify

Complete the three capital gates.

02Approve

Cost the build and first season. Release capital after approval.

03Operate

Run one season. Record use, loss, price, fees and payment time.

04Decide

Repeat, revise or stop based on the season’s results.

FIRST-SITE BRIEF

One funding sequence. Defined outputs.

PARTNER COMMITS
  • Verification capital
  • Conditional build and first-season capital
  • Buyer introductions
  • Review of release and replication decisions
MAVH TEAM RETURNS
  • Confirmed site, catchment and operator
  • Buyer specifications and payment terms
  • Costed capital and operating plan
  • Baseline, season results and recommendation
CAPITAL RELEASE CONDITION

All three gates are documented and approved in writing.

REPEAT

Build the next site.

Use and economics hold across the full season.

REVISE

Change the service.

Producer returns improve, but demand or operating costs miss the threshold.

STOP

Do not replicate.

The season does not justify another site.
