my model is simple. Used to collect data of 5 mandis ( markets) every day. used to have a data sheet and metrics. 

was maintaining contacts at markers to feed live data.  so i know which market gets me better rate. so the truck used to take to that market to sell.

 

did sorakayalu for a while, farmer selling for 1rupiee per kaya,,,,, market rate used to be around 5 or 6 rupiees... consumer price is 10-15 rupiees....i used to get 4000 rupees profit per load truck trip...but how many trucks and people do you have to have to manage...

You cannnot directly sell to consumer ;;; PERIOD;;; high intense marketing costs......so donot burn hands... very difficult.

 

constraints:

 

Procurement - very very unmanaged network.  a farmer can sell you today but tomorrow he may not.

 

I just tested the market , lost 10 lac but learnt a lot. a lot of knowledge , i can share to anyone who can work through these constraints.

 

Why can't you stop with 1 or 2 trucks??

Vegetables are perishable. 

 

if you buy 100 KGs, may be you can actually sell only 80 KGs. 

 

Out of the 80 KGs, customers will remove 10 KGs saying bad. 

 

Overall, you have to maintain very high margin as you have to include rent/transport,...  meaning, you will be same as everyone else

It is easy to succeed in India if you are willing to put up capital like 5-10 crores and sustain losses for first 6 months.

you can succeed with lower capital too but that involved too much work in a dusty and hot land.
