🔍 Problem
The unfair pricing dynamic in the food supply chain in Colombia, where multiple middlemen are involved between growers and restaurants. Growers often receive low prices for their produce, while the restaurants have to pay high prices for the same products. This dynamic has negative consequences for both parties, as growers struggle to make a living, and restaurants struggle to keep their prices competitive.
