Problem statement

Farmers shoulder the risk while middlemen take the value

Current cacao supply chains extract up to 94% of revenues for intermediaries, forcing regenerative farmers to abandon climate-positive practices for short-term survival.

  • Geographic isolation leads to post-harvest losses and limited quality control.
  • Minimal market access data leaves farmers dependent on exploitative middlemen.
  • Climate shocks disrupt yields, while capital for resilience is scarce.
  • Opaque pricing causes farmers to abandon regenerative practices for harmful alternatives.
  • Regulatory hurdles such as FDA FSVP compliance slow down entry to US/EU markets.
  • Community distribution lacks logistics, warehousing, and coordination capacity.

Our approach

Community operators keep Agroverse moving every day

Farmers are now reaching out directly, so the DAO focuses on hands-on execution: certification, warehousing, outreach, and joyful cacao gatherings that build demand.

Onboard & Certify

FDA-certified community members register farms and manufacturing partners, clearing lots for US import and supporting in-house processing where pricing requires it.

Warehouse & Fulfill

Members provide storage in Brazil and the US, handle packing, labeling, and last-mile fulfillment so every bag remains traceable.

Reseller Outreach

DAO ambassadors cultivate US reseller relationships, onboard new partners, and keep them stocked with regenerative cacao SKUs.

Cacao Circles

Community organizers continue to host cacao gatherings so members can experience the product and invite new allies into the movement.

How each AGL ledger allocates revenue

Every shipment (AGL) is tracked in a shared Google Sheet down to the unit. When sales settle, funds are earmarked with full transparency:

  • Purchasing cacao directly from farmers.
  • Processing beans into retail-ready bags.
  • Freighting and customs clearance across Brazil → USA.
  • Warehousing, packing, and fulfillment costs.
  • Tree planting commitments under the Sunmint program.
  • Reserves that back the value of TDG governance tokens.

Unit economics

How every retail sale splits

Every bag and bar on an AGL shipment carries the same transparent split: retailer share, supply-chain payout, tree planting, and DAO operations. Exact amounts vary by SKU because cacao pricing, freight, and manufacturer fees fluctuate — and bars carry tighter margins than bags.

$25 retail bag

MSRP $25 – $35

  • $8 → retailer / consignee (32%)
  • $10 → supply chain — farmers + manufacturers + freight (40%)
  • $5 → tree planting (20%)
  • $2 → DAO operations — taxes, state franchise, infrastructure (8%)

Retailers may list up to $35; anything above MSRP covers their local fulfillment — roughly what a buyer would pay in shipping ordering direct from agroverse.shop.

$10 single-estate bar

MSRP $10

  • $4 → retailer / consignee (40%)
  • $3 → supply chain — farmers + manufacturers + freight (30%)
  • $1 → tree planting (10%)
  • $2 → DAO operations (20%)

Bars carry tighter margins because cacao-mass and molding costs shift monthly. A larger share goes to the retailer to incentivize shelf placement and pull-through.

Shipment financing (syndicate AGLs)

Financiers who pre-fund a shipment are repaid before the DAO takes a profit cut. Once freight, customs, and manufacturing costs are recouped from retail proceeds, 80% of remaining profit returns to the financier and 20% is retained by the DAO as its management fee. If a shipment doesn't break even, the financier's principal is protected by the 1 USD shortfall = 1 TDG clause in the Export Trade Financing Syndicate Agreement template. Operational-fund ledgers (AGLs that invest in other AGLs) are charged 0% to avoid double-fees.

Partnership shapes

Five ways to partner with Agroverse

Each partnership is signed on-DApp and logged in the Agroverse Partners tab of the Main Ledger. Shapes below reflect deals we sign today — reach out at hello@truesight.me for the current terms sheet.

Retail consignment

$8 / bag · $4 / bar to you

Cafes, apothecaries, galleries, and retreat centers. We ship QR-coded bags or bars on consignment; your venue appears at agroverse.shop/partners/<your-slug> with inventory auto-published nightly. Restock on demand. If the partnership ends, we pick up remaining stock — you're never holding unsold product. Current terms under the Agroverse Community Distributors Agreement (md).

White-label event order

50-unit minimum

Events, ceremonies, weddings, or brand activations: order 50+ bars with custom labels. Labels are produced via Sticker Mule — plan for their lead time on top of our manufacturing cadence once your design is finalized.

Shipment financier

80/20 profit split · capital first

Pre-fund an individual AGL via an Export Trade Financing Syndicate Agreement. Your capital is repaid from sales before any profit split; after recoup, 80% of profit returns to you and the DAO keeps 20%. Operational-fund ledgers are fee-free. See Unit economics.

Chocolatier / maker

Wholesale per AGL

Purchase wholesale cacao mass, nibs, or ceremonial cacao from a specific AGL lot. Lab reports and farm-story pages (see each /shipments/agl*) back your marketing with origin provenance.

Upstream farm / cooperative

Onboards as a new AGL

Brazilian cacao farms or co-ops onboard through FDA FSVP pre-registration. Your lot becomes an AGL with its own ledger row, QR-coded units, and PDP at agroverse.shop/farms/<your-slug>.
