A harvest share is not simply a product with a price tag.
It is part of a collectively supported supply logic. This is precisely why its price follows a different structure than a conventional individual price in retail.
While ordinary sales usually consider only the individual product, a harvest share connects multiple levels: production, processing, logistics, coordination, infrastructure, and the question of how these contributions can be collectively supported.
A harvest share does not just represent a certain quantity of a product.
It also stands for:
The price of a harvest share therefore does not only reflect the value of a product, but the sustainability of an entire system.
With an individual order, a product is usually considered in isolation.
The main questions then are:
With a harvest share, the perspective shifts.
Here, the focus is also on:
This results in a different pricing logic than with a one-time order.
The price of a harvest share arises from several interconnected levels.
These include in particular:
These price components together form not just a final price, but a readable structure.
This makes it clear that a harvest share is more than just a product price: it is the result of an organized supply chain.
A harvest share creates predictability.
This directly affects the price because it allows:
As a result, a different price may emerge than with a one-time order, without necessarily meaning less reaches the farm.
On the contrary: precisely through better predictability, price and remuneration can enter into a different relationship.
In the TEIKEI Agora, a harvest share can be linked to basic cost participation.
This is a crucial difference because it means that part of the basic costs does not have to be fully borne by each individual box.
When basic cost participation covers basic costs, it becomes possible to:
This changes not only the amount of a price, but the entire logic behind it.
Harvest share plus basic cost participation is therefore not just a different pricing model, but a different form of supply.
This understanding is crucial to comprehend:
Only when these connections are understood can one approach a real calculation of basic costs—not just for the product itself, but for the entire supply chain and the TEIKEI network.
This is precisely where the significance of this basic logic lies:
It helps to make visible what is spent where, which contributions support the system, and how a collectively supported basic cost participation can gradually emerge from this.
Another important point is that price and remuneration are not identical.
A higher price does not automatically mean that more reaches the origin.
Only when it becomes visible:
can it be assessed how sustainable a harvest share truly is.
This is precisely why the pricing logic of a harvest share belongs in the broader context of price transparency.
When the pricing logic of a harvest share is well explained, it can do more than just justify an amount.
It can make visible:
This makes it understandable that a harvest share is not just a pricing format, but a building block for a different economic logic.
The pricing logic of a harvest share can only be understood if it is not viewed as an isolated product, but as part of a collectively supported supply system.
A harvest share connects product, structure, planning, and responsibility.
This is precisely why its price is not just a final amount, but the expression of a shared architecture: a pricing logic that aims to make supply comprehensible, sustainable, and gradually fairer.
