Tackling Rising Prices in the UK

Prices haven’t been going easy on fresh produce consumption in the UK. In 2023 alone, the price of fresh fruits and vegetables increased by 13.6%, putting a strain on both retailers and consumers. With the UK consuming over £14 billion worth of fresh produce annually, half of which is imported, these rising costs are creating major challenges for the consumption in the British market.

At Dastgyr, we’re addressing these issues head-on by building a marketplace backed by the simplest supply chain model, so that we can bring retailers with more affordable, high-quality produce.

The Rising Costs of Fresh Produce in the UK

Traditional supply chains entail multiple intermediaries, each of whom adds their unique markup at every stage. As a result, prices are entirely inflated as they reach the retailers and then the consumers. Additionally, disruptions in the global supply chain, whether from weather, political instability, or logistical challenges, result in price hikes always experienced by the import-driven fresh produce market in the UK. Spoilage due to delays in shipping and poor logistics further exacerbates the price issue, as it reduces the overall supply and drives up the costs.

That’s Why Dastgyr Doesn’t Stop!

We’re here to solve these challenges by providing retailers in the UK to bulk buy fresh produce at the lowest prices from anywhere in the world. Our tech-enabled platform streamlines the entire supply chain, making it more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective. Think of us as an online wholesale food market, that’s importing nothing but the best fruits and vegetables for your shops!
We cut out the middlemen by directly connecting retailers with trusted producers. This direct access to farms ensures that retailers purchase fresh produce at low prices. As a result, British retailers can pass on these savings to consumers, making high-quality fruits and vegetables more affordable.

By expanding our global reach, we also allow UK retailers to diversify their supplier base. Retailers can now access an extensive number of farms from anywhere in the world. This diversification ensures that retailers can consistently stock their shelves, even during times of disruption. With more stable supply chains, businesses can avoid stock shortages and keep prices stable for their customers.

Enhancing Lives of British Consumers

By addressing inefficiencies in the supply chain and offering retailers direct access to low priced, high-quality produce, we’re trying to make a tangible difference for British consumers. Our efforts allow retailers to offer organic fruits and vegetables at cheaper prices, helping families cope with rising grocery bills. Additionally, with reduced spoilage, consumers receive fresher produce with longer shelf lives, ensuring better value for money.
We’re on a mission to make access to trade seamless and reliable so that businesses and their end consumers can thrive with the best value in their consumption!
