1. Describe the problem:
I moved to a country house in Krasnodar and faced the problem of finding local farms for small wholesale purchases of natural products (meat, cheese, vegetables) for myself and my family. Existing search engines only show large players, while small, quality farms remain "invisible" online. Information about them can only be found through random physical kiosks or WhatsApp groups, which is extremely inconvenient and inefficient. There are also listings on Avito, but it's also very inconvenient to assemble an order "basket" there like in regular online stores.
2. How often does the problem occur?
This is a daily problem since moving. Every time we need to buy quality products directly from producers, we begin lengthy and often unsuccessful searches. My wife faces the same problem, and I'm sure many neighbors do too.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
Constant monitoring of local markets and random physical kiosks hoping to find contacts. Attempts to search through Google and social media using queries like "farm [product] [city]", but this doesn't work - search results mainly show only Moscow and St. Petersburg, ignoring local producers.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I don't know the exact business model, but I'm sure that people like me would be willing to pay. This could be a commission from purchases from verified local farms.
