Atrito de Cliente: Exclusão de Pequenos Produtores

2 verified sources

Definition

Small Brazilian farmers historically abandon carbon credit projects after discovering R$22,500–225,000 audit costs and 2-3 year verification timelines. This represents severe customer friction: prospects investigate, learn about barriers, and choose not to participate. Carbon credit platforms lose entire customer segments (estimated 7.5+ million CAR-registered properties) due to process friction.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Customer acquisition loss: 70–90% of small-producer inquiries convert to zero (abandoned funnels); per platform: R$500,000–5,000,000 annual LTV loss; market-wide: R$5–50 billion in unrealized customer lifetime value
  • Frequency: Continuous; affects 100% of small-producer customer acquisition funnels
  • Root Cause: Cost-prohibitive verification (R$22,500–225,000), long verification cycles (2+ years), complex processes, lack of transparent pricing, platform UX friction

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Carbon credit and regenerative agriculture platforms in Brasil lose 70–90% of small farmer prospects due to verification friction (cost, time, complexity). Streamlined digital verification with transparent pricing reduces friction by 80%+ and increases small-producer participation 5–10x.
