Empowering Local Farmers: A Sustainable Path to Growth and Prosperity

The core of our mission revolves around local communities and small family farmers. To engage them effectively, it is essential to establish a system that not only involves but also supports their needs and aspirations. This calls for a different agricultural model, one that serves as a sustainable utilization system. Our journey has led us to adopt Contract Farming (CF), a model that provides small and family farmers with fair opportunities, secure income, and access to advanced agricultural solutions. By incorporating this approach into the third stage of our Integrated Protected Agriculture Approach (IPAA), we ensure that local people are deeply involved in every aspect of our work.

What we mean from CF?

Contract farming is a collaborative agricultural model that establishes a formal partnership between farmers and our Company, ensuring mutual benefits. It provides farmers with secure markets, fair pricing, and access to resources while enabling businesses to ensure consistent quality and supply of produce.
