Redefining Value Distribution

Traditional supply chains in Bangladesh lose up to 60% of value to intermediaries. The WISH model flips this equation.

By disintermediating the chain and connecting the WISH Hub directly to the SIG Factory, we recapture lost margin. This structural efficiency allows us to pass 50% of the MSRP directly to the farmer for high-value items like Honey, while maintaining volume-based stability for staples like Turmeric.
