Section 10: Third-Party Supervision & Trust-Building “Supervision & Trust Compass of Great Farm Managers ”

10.1 Contract Farming Frameworks (quality specs, pricing, risk-sharing); When you promise buyers or investors a contract, how detailed are your terms—only handshake, or line-by-line clarity? 👉 Example 1: Buying milk—do you say “1 litre daily” or “1 litre, 4% fat, tested daily, price ₹X per litre”? 👉 Example 2: Selling wheat—do you fix grade, moisture %, and delivery date, or leave it vague?

10.2 Off-Take MOUs, MSP/Market-Link Alternatives, Forward Contracts; Do you secure markets in advance, or sell on mandi mercy? 👉 Example 1: Renting a flat—you either sign tenant agreement before construction or hope tenants show up later.

👉 Example 2: Selling potatoes—either book with chips company at fixed price, or throw them at mandi auction.

10.3 Land Lease/Licensing, Custom-Hire Agreements, IP/Use of Protocols; When land, equipment, or intellectual know-how is shared, do you formalize terms or keep it casual? 👉 Example 1: Borrowing a tractor—do you pay rent formally or just return with a gift? 👉 Example 2: Using a patented seed—do you respect licensing or just reuse without terms?

10.4 Willingness to Allow Independent Third-Party Monitoring (e.g., Hello Kisan as Auditor); Are you open to outsiders checking your books and fields—or do you resist audits? 👉 Example 1: Schools with open parent days vs schools that hide results.

👉 Example 2: Companies with external auditors vs self-claimed balance sheets.

10.5 Use of IT-Enabled Dashboards for Joint Oversight; Do you give investors real-time visibility, or just occasional updates? 👉 Example 1: Food delivery apps—track rider live vs waiting blindly. 👉 Example 2: Banks—SMS alerts for every transaction vs yearly statement.
