Yes - this is where Tilth helps most. You collect orders from verified buyers in your region and only buy the quantity already sold, at the day's price. Every tonne you sell already has a buyer and an agreed price. Volatility stops being a risk and becomes something you manage in real time, with no unsold stock.
Every morning you check active demand in your region in real time. Volume aggregation groups nearby orders so you can fill delivery capacity before you set off. You load only what's already sold, deliver on an optimised route, and get paid on delivery. A difficult market becomes the moment Tilth suppliers gain ground on competitors standing still.
Tilth connects you with a pool of pre-qualified professional buyers, helping you capture demand that's hard to reach through traditional channels while improving stock rotation and margin per tonne.
It makes the market transparent, so price-led farmers can find you. You set your own price and choose which requests to quote, within the radius you define. Competitive suppliers win volume they would not otherwise see; the index rewards sharp pricing rather than forcing it.
Yes. The exchange surfaces verified demand across your chosen delivery radius, including farmers who don't currently buy from you, so you can grow volume without expanding your sales force.

Tilth shows you the going UK market price, so you know the fair price before you buy, then lets you buy from any verified supplier on it. Your usual supplier can still quote; now they compete on price.
Verified buyer status is awarded to operators who successfully pass our qualification process, granting them priority supply allocations and full access to the exchange.
Tilth publishes an independent, AI-forecasted index of the going market price, never supplier list prices. Check it before you buy and compare any quote against it. It gets sharper as farmers add what they actually paid.
