Malaysia to Singapore
Durian crosses the border.Nobody has to trust the other side first.
A Singapore shop pays before pickup. The platform holds the money. The Malaysian farm is paid after the shop accepts the delivery. Licensed transporters run the crossing.
You run a shop in Singapore
Buy a week of durian direct from one farm. Your money is held until you accept each delivery.
See how buying worksYou run a farm in Malaysia
Set your price in Ringgit. Accept an order only after the money is already held.
See how selling worksYou run licensed lorries
Your fee is held before your lorry moves. It is released when the shop accepts.
See how the lane worksThe problem
Cross border durian runs on trust, and trust breaks.
A farm in Malaysia and a shop in Singapore do not know each other. Today the gap is filled by agents, chat messages and cash.
Somebody always goes first
The shop pays before it sees the fruit, or the farm ships before it sees the money. Whoever goes first carries the whole risk, across a border, alone.
Nobody agrees on the weight
The weight at the farm and the weight at the shop are two different numbers. The argument starts after the fruit is already sold.
The agent knows both prices
The farm learns one price. The shop learns another. Neither side ever sees the gap in the middle.
What we are trying to solve
Three objectives
- 1
Make the first order safe for both sides
A farm and a shop should be able to trade the first time without knowing each other. The shop money is held. The farm is paid after the shop accepts the delivery.
- 2
Put the price back in farm hands
The farm lists its own price in Ringgit and answers the order sheet itself. No agent decides what the fruit is worth on the other side of the border.
- 3
Move the whole week, not one box
A tree drops when it drops. A Singapore shop buys a full week from one farm, so the farm knows what to cut before the week starts.
How it works
From order to payment, in five steps
The same five steps apply to every order, whoever you are.
1
The shop orders a week
A Singapore shop picks one farm and sends an order sheet. The sheet lists the kilograms it wants for each delivery day of the week.
2
The money is held
The shop pays first. The platform holds the money. The farm does not receive it yet. This is called escrow.
3
The farm accepts
The farm sees that the money is held, then accepts the order and prepares the fruit.
4
The transporter delivers
A licensed transporter collects at the farm and delivers to the shop. The produce is weighed at both ends.
5
Payment is released
The shop accepts the delivery. The farm is paid in Ringgit and the transporter fee is paid out.
The answer
The money waits in the middle.
Neither side has to trust the other first, because the money does not move until the fruit has arrived and been accepted.
The durian travels the other way, farm to shop.
Durian only shows its quality when it is opened. So weight is settled at the door and quality is settled the next day, and each one has its own rule.
The bill follows the weight that arrives
Produce is weighed at the shop. If 200 kg was ordered and 180 kg arrives, the difference is refunded to the shop automatically.
Bad fruit is replaced, not argued about
The shop opens fruit for customers the next day. A claim with photos can be sent until 8pm that day. The remedy is replacement fruit on the next delivery.
One price in Singapore Dollars
The price a shop sees covers the farm price, the platform fee and the delivery. The farm quotes in Ringgit and is paid in Ringgit. Neither side carries the exchange rate.
Start with one week
A shop can send an order sheet for next week today. A farm can list produce and set a Ringgit price today. One week is the whole commitment.
