Farmer income

Where the extra money actually comes from

There is no trick to this. A farmer’s income rises in four places, and we work on all four.

Four places we work

She pays less for inputs: bulk buying at source instead of retail on credit.
She loses less of what she grows: proper drying, grading and storage between harvest and sale.
She gets a better rate: volume, grading and a known buyer instead of a doorstep offer.
She shares in the company’s earnings: the company belongs to its members. Last year it paid ₹15,25,538 to members.

What we won't claim

Farming income depends on rain, pests, disease and markets we do not control. A producer company cannot make a bad season good. It can work to ensure that in a good season the gain reaches the farmer, and in a bad one she is not also cheated on weight and rate. We will not promise more than that.
