The farmer agrees to provide an agreed-upon amount of the product, meeting the quality standards set by the buyer and delivering it at an agreed-upon time. In return, the buyer commits to purchasing the product and may also provide support in the form of farm inputs, land preparation, and technical advice to help with production.
