Abstract
Indonesia is a country with great agricultural potential, natural potential and geographical conditions making Indonesia an agrarian country. Nevertheless, the agricultural sector in Indonesia still faces many problems ranging from farmer regeneration, land-use change, modern agricultural technology, to fluctuating commodity prices. For this reason, an integrated-model or system is needed which can overcome the problems of farmers from upstream to downstream. The model offered is Harvestnesia, a start-up based on partnerships with farmers. Through this partnership, farmers will be given assistance to be able to improve the quality and quantity of production, besides this Start-up also helps in terms of integrated marketing and distribution, through this integrated system partners can find out the needs and demands of the market so that there is no surge in supply or demand so that price fluctuations can be suppressed.
