Terra Byte Labs
We build software, automation and data systems for Romanian agriculture. Cules din Grădină — a 0%-commission marketplace for producers — is our flagship product and the lead project for our EU Gate 5.0 application.
Identity
A software lab built to automate agriculture.
Terra Byte Labs is not a generalist agency. We are a product studio focused on agritech: marketplaces for local producers, automation of farm operations, field-data ingestion and mobile interfaces designed for people whose hands are in the soil.
Owned products, validated in the field
We build platforms that ship to real producers first, then expand through partnerships and European funding.
Automation where it matters
We replace the notebook, the phone and the paper invoice with digital flows that work even without an internal tech team.
EU Gate 5.0 project
Flagship project
Cules din Grădină — a 0%-commission marketplace connecting local producers to people who want food close to its source.
Cules.ro is the agritech platform built by Terra Byte Labs: zero middlemen, 100% of revenue goes to the producer, 15-minute farmer onboarding, on-farm pick-your-own visits, home delivery and county-level discovery. The platform is 80% complete and ready as the demonstrable project for EU Gate 5.0.
“From the garden, not from the warehouse.”

Automation & data
The automation layer that turns a marketplace into agricultural infrastructure.
Beneath the simple interface of cules.ro we are building an automation and agricultural-intelligence layer: field-data ingestion, seasonal recommendations, availability alerts, logistics sync, and a foundation ready for IoT sensors and harvest prediction.
01
Workflow automation for producers
Semi-automated listings, stock sync, order alerts, digital invoicing — no notebook, no phone tag, no paper.
02
Seasonal intelligence
Algorithms that learn from history what is in demand, when and on which route, so producers plant and ship what actually sells.
03
End-to-end traceability
Every product can be traced from the producer's garden to the buyer — the foundation for EU food-chain requirements.
04
Ready for IoT & sensor data
The architecture is designed to ingest data from soil sensors, weather stations and crop-monitoring devices.
Research & development
From TRL 6 to TRL 8 — what we build with EU Gate 5.0 funding.
Cules today is a functionally validated product, close to operational pilot. EU Gate 5.0 funding will let us go from marketplace to a full agritech platform with predictions, IoT and certified traceability.
TRL 6 — Today
Functional marketplace, technically validated
cules.ro covers the producer → buyer flow end-to-end, with profiles, orders, delivery and on-farm pickup.
TRL 7 — With the grant
Operational pilot with real producers
Onboarding in pilot counties, economic-impact measurement, integration with first IoT devices for field data.
TRL 8 — Target
Fully certified and scalable system
Food traceability compliant with EU requirements, AI recommendations for producers, regional scaling and interoperability.
EU Gate 5.0 alignment
Cules speaks directly to EU priorities for digital and sustainable agriculture.
The EU Gate 5.0 application is built on five pillars aligned with the European Farm-to-Fork strategy, the Green Deal and the digitalization of the Common Agricultural Policy. Each pillar is already present in the architecture of the Cules platform.
01
Farm-to-Fork: short food supply chains
We remove intermediaries between producer and consumer — exactly the Farm-to-Fork goal of shortening the distance from farm to plate.
02
Digitalization of small producers
Cules opens digital market access to farmers without technical teams — a direct objective of digital CAP.
03
Traceability & food safety
Every batch has identifiable origin: a foundation for compliance with EU food-safety and transparency regulations.
04
Food-waste & carbon-footprint reduction
Order-driven production and short-route delivery cut waste and transport emissions — Green Deal alignment.
05
Measurable rural economic impact
100% of revenue goes to the producer. The platform generates real economic indicators for underdeveloped rural areas.
Technical capabilities
The software stack we build agricultural products on.
We work modern, mobile-ready and prepared for scale: Next.js, cloud infrastructure, Supabase backend, continuous deployment, monitoring and end-to-end security.
01
Web & mobile apps
Fast interfaces for buyers, producers and administrators. Web-first, with an Android app in preparation.
02
Marketplace platforms
