Zerra

“I’ve been farming for years, but I never thought the waste parts could be sold like this. Zerra made it simple. Now every part of my crop earns something.”

“We used to throw away banana fiber after harvest. Now buyers come directly to the farm to collect it. No need to arrange transport myself.”

“Sugarcane tops used to sit and rot behind the shed. Now we sell it as cattle feed through Zerra and clear the land faster too.”

“I uploaded turmeric leaves out of curiosity, not expecting much. Two days later, someone confirmed an order for all of it. I’m listing it regularly now.”

“We had stacks of husk and straw from last season. Zerra helped us move it without going through agents who always delayed payments.”

“When I list on Zerra, I mention the moisture, weight, and pickup location. Buyers trust it more because everything’s transparent.”

“I’ve received payments directly from buyers — no middleman involved. It’s fast, and I know exactly who I’m dealing with.”

“Until now I only sold grain and fruit. But with Zerra, even the leftover stalks and fiber are generating income.”

“We had piles of peanut shells after harvest. Normally we’d burn or dump them. Zerra helped us move two tractor loads in less than a week.”

“After I started using Zerra, three farmers from my village also listed their agri-waste. Now buyers come directly to our area for pickup.”

“One buyer used to delay payments every time. Since switching to Zerra, I’ve got four new buyers and better rates without begging anyone.”

“Now I spend less time on phone calls and more time in the field. Buyers contact me directly when they want something — no wasting time.”

“Earlier we didn’t even bother collecting certain types of waste. But once we saw the demand, we started storing and sorting it properly for sale.”

“We run a biofuel unit that needs crop residue in bulk. Zerra saves us hours every week — no more following up with five different dealers.”

“Last week I listed leftover cotton stems from our field. Within a day, two buyers from different districts called. That kind of demand never came before.”

“Our briquette plant struggled with irregular supply. After we started using Zerra, we’re finally getting steady raw material without overpaying.”

“We use banana sheath for eco-packaging. Through Zerra, we’ve connected with farmers across multiple districts. It’s helped us build a proper supply chain.”

“Zerra’s crop, quantity, and moisture filters are a game-changer. We only see listings that actually match what we need — no more wasted time.”

“A big problem earlier was junk material being passed off as usable. Zerra listings show photos and moisture levels, so we avoid low-grade waste.”

“We often need four to five different agri-waste types. Before Zerra, it took days to coordinate. Now it’s all in one place.”

“Earlier, sourcing depended on phone numbers from someone’s uncle or random WhatsApp groups. Now it’s transparent and quick.”

“We’re based in Jalgaon and had no idea about the cotton waste availability in Sangli. Zerra helped us discover suppliers we couldn’t have found otherwise.”

“For paddy straw, we always depended on Punjab. Now, thanks to Zerra, we’re sourcing from Nashik during off-season too.”

“We were tired of forwarding messages and getting no replies. With Zerra, we just check listings and call directly. It’s simple.”

“Earlier, we’d pay ₹1000–₹2000 to local agents just to connect us to farmers. Zerra removed all of that, now it’s direct and efficient.”

“I don’t need to sweet-talk dealers anymore. I just search by crop or location, call the farmer, and get it done.”

“We use dried corn stalks for low-impact insulation. Before Zerra, we didn’t know where to get bulk waste from. Now we source on schedule, and the quality’s consistent.”

“Zerra’s helping us build long-term relationships with suppliers instead of chasing scraps through informal channels.”
