Multiple supply sources. Stronger market access.

Mercalix aggregates agricultural products from a wide network of supply-side participants and connects them with downstream buyers — from the first sack of produce sourced from a farmer to the final confirmed payment to a supplier.

01 Supply Layer

Supply Aggregation

Mercalix aggregates agricultural products from a wide network of supply-side participants — farmers, FPOs, processors, agents, suppliers, associations and wholesalers — consolidating fragmented supply into commercially meaningful, buyer-ready quantities.

Business Model

Business Models & Trade Flow

Mercalix operates through two flexible models designed around the transaction — aggregating supply, trading it forward, and settling payments back to suppliers at every stage.

STEP 01

Supply from the Ecosystem

Farmers, FPOs, processors, agents, suppliers & wholesalers.

STEP 02

Aggregation by Mercalix

Analyse, negotiate, represent & trade — as principal or agent.

STEP 03

Trade to APMC / Trader / Processor

Aggregated supply routed to the buyer network.

STEP 04

Suppliers are paid on time, every cycle.

Note: In the Principal Trading model, Mercalix purchases from suppliers and sells onward to buyers, earning through the trading margin. In the Commission / Agency model, Mercalix facilitates the transaction directly between supplier and buyer, earning a commission or service fee.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Mercalix buy the produce, or just facilitate the trade?

Both, depending on the transaction. Under Principal Trading, Mercalix purchases from suppliers and sells onward to buyers. Under the Commission / Agency model, Mercalix facilitates the transaction directly between supplier and buyer as a commercial representative.

Who does Mercalix source from and sell to?

We source from farmers, FPOs, processors, agents, suppliers, associations and wholesalers, and supply to APMCs / mandis, traders and processors — who continue the journey through distributors, retailers and consumers.

How are supplier payments collected and settled?

Through cheque, demand draft, cash, CMS or bank transfer — coordinated with banking and CMS partners so suppliers are collected from and paid on time, transparently.

What visibility do suppliers and buyers get into a transaction?

Clear visibility across quantities, pricing, transactions and settlements — the transparency that builds trust between every participant in the network.
