¶ The Pricing Module in TEIKEI Agora 3.0
Agora and Agora Marketplace › … › Dual Transparency and Traceability · 3 min read · Approved – this is how it will be
The pricing module is a central element of TEIKEI Agora 3.0.
It ensures that prices are not just displayed as a final amount but become visible as a traceable composition along the supply chain.
This creates a pricing logic that does not obscure but instead discloses.
¶ What the Pricing Module Is About
In the TEIKEI system, a modular tool is being developed to transparently display price components per product. Members should be able to understand which portions contribute to a price—from harvest to delivery.
The module is designed so that individual cost items can be flexibly recorded, stored, and combined. These components can be entered per kilogram or as a share.
¶ Goal of the Module
The goal of the pricing module is not just technical calculation.
It creates a new quality of transparency:
- Prices become traceable
- Price formation becomes explainable
- Trust in the supply chain is strengthened
- Solidarity and risk sharing become visible
The pricing logic thus becomes part of the relationship between production, processing, logistics, and basic cost participation.
¶ Which Components Can Be Made Visible
The current development logic lists the following price components, among others:
- Harvest costs
- Maintenance of fields and forest gardens
- Cleaning and sorting
- Packaging costs
- National and international transport costs
- Coverage of operating costs, for example for the TEIKEI Agora or organizers of pickup locations
- Customs duties
- Contributions to the solidarity fund in case of crop failures
These elements are already described as building blocks of the module.
¶ Modular Structure
The module is intentionally designed to be modular.
This means:
Not every product requires exactly the same cost structure.
Depending on the product, supply chain, and region, different building blocks can be shown or hidden, maintained, and combined. The test version already demonstrates that individual cost items can be entered, stored, and assembled in a modular way.
This makes the system open to different product groups and can, in the long term, also map more complex compositions.
¶ Connection to Agora 3.0
In the long term, the pricing module is intended to be directly integrated into the TEIKEI Agora. The development status already provides for producers to be able to enter data, for example via their own app or within the Agora itself.
This means that pricing is not only calculated internally but becomes part of the visible platform logic.
¶ Solidarity Fund and Risk
An important part of the module is the ability to make contributions to a solidarity fund visible. In the development description, this area is explicitly referred to as a contribution to the solidarity fund or "honeypot" in the event of crop failures.
This makes it clear:
Price is not just the passing on of costs,
but can also include community-based precaution.
¶ Perspective
The long-term goal is sustainable, fair, and traceable pricing along the entire supply chain. In addition, the system is intended to automatically function in the future for mixed fruit and vegetable boxes, and the data will be maintained annually.
The pricing module is therefore more than just a calculation aid.
It is a tool for transparent economic relationships within the TEIKEI Agora 3.0.
