MarketAccess

We connect Mizoram's farmer collectives to buyers, platforms, and export channels - turning production into income.

ABPM bridges the gap between what Mizoram's farmers produce and where it gets sold. We provide market intelligence, buyer connections, cluster development, and branding support - helping FPOs access state markets, national platforms like ONDC, GeM Portal and in some cases, export opportunities. We work across commodities: tea, organic produce, horticulture, poultry and processed goods.

What we provide

Our Market Access Support Services

01

Buyer Linkage

ABPM connects FPOs directly to retailers, processors, wholesalers and institutional purchasers through its network across Mizoram, Northeast India and beyond. We facilitate introductions, negotiate terms and help formalise purchase agreements.

02

E-NAM & Digital Platforms

We register and onboard FPOs onto e-NAM and other digital trading platforms, enabling transparent, competitive pricing and trade beyond local mandis without intermediaries.

03

Cluster Development

We organise adjacent FPOs and farmer groups into production clusters, aggregating supply to attract institutional buyers, reduce logistics costs and improve collective bargaining power.

04

Branding & Packaging

Support for packaging, labelling and retail standards, as well as collective brand development for premium products such as organic tea, honey and spices.

05

Export Channel Support

Introductions to export aggregators, APEDA registration support, and help meeting phytosanitary and certification requirements for export-quality produce and specialty teas.

06

Market Intelligence

Practical commodity price trends, buyer requirements, seasonal demand patterns and competitor analysis to align production with market needs.

Process

How Market Access Works with ABPM

03

Linkage & Trial

Facilitate the first transaction, managing logistics, documentation, pricing and payment terms.

04

Ongoing Support

Monitor relationships, resolve disputes, expand channels and update pricing strategies as conditions change.

Real Outcomes from ABPM-Supported FPOs

Market Linked - Mission Organic

Champhai Apiculture & Poultry Farmers Producer Organisation

N. Khawbung, Zotlang & Zote - Champhai District

ABPM supported the Champhai Apiculture & Poultry FPO under NABARD's PODF-ID scheme, helping aggregate produce from three villages into a single collective supply. ABPM identified buyers in Aizawl and facilitated the first formal purchase agreement for honey - establishing a predictable off-take arrangement that gave members income certainty for the first time.

ABPM also connected the FPO to a packaging supplier and supported basic branding for their honey products, which now sell at a 20% premium over unbranded alternatives in local markets.

Before ABPM, we would sell at whatever price the local trader offered. Now we have agreements, we know the price before the season starts.
