Our community

Our farmers, Our heroes

Certified organic food products impact an entire community by ensuring the sustainability of farmers' livelihoods. Multiple family members actively contribute to our supply chain, creating both direct and indirect income sources. Our farm managers, often the children of farmers, collaborate with us in cultivating organic products. Products like black rice and red rice require intensive manual labor to maintain the grainโ€™s color, and the farmers' wives play a vital role in preserving quality.

We have impacted the livelihood of small and marginal organic farmers in the Northeastern region of India, West Bengal and Maharashtra, by helping them develop a conducive ecosystem in sustainable agriculture - we have educated farmers regarding proper organic practices and provided constant guidance. Working directly with more than 1000 small and marginal organic growers in Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, West Bengal and Maharashtra, we have been successful in certification of over 1000 acres of farmland and have successfully developed an effective supply chain for the products.

Benefits

Our farmers have received better value for their harvest, 30% more than conventional equivalent, by employing organic methods of farming. Their on-farm expenses have gone down by 60% due to non usage of external farm inputs like fertilizers and growth hormones. Proper pest control, as guided by our panel of experts, have helped them in curbing damage of their crops. We are using mapping technology extensively to monitor our farms continuously against adverse weather conditions, and farm coverage for better forecasting of crop yield.
