Here, we bridge the gap between local farmer and the buyer. We, assist both the stake holders to achieve their respective goals.
Contract farming has been used for agricultural production for decades but its popularity appears to have been increasing in recent years. The use of contracts has become attractive to many farmers because the arrangement can offer both an assured market and access to production support. Contract farming is also of interest to buyers, who seek supplies of products for sale further along the value chain or for processing. Processors constitute the main users of contracts, as the guaranteed supply enables them to maximize utilization of their processing capacity.Contracts with farmers can also reduce risk from disease or weather and facilitate certification, which is being increasingly demanded by advanced markets.
Although contract farming must first and foremost be considered as a commercial proposition, it has also come to be viewed as an effective approach to help solve many of the market access and input supply problems faced by small farmers. Effective linkages between companies and thousands of farmers often require the involvement of formal farmer associations or cooperatives or, at least, informal farmer groups.
We, have just started working with a select group of buyers for their specific requirement to grow rice using our network of farmers in Pakistan.
Though, the similar projects have been initiated in India, Cambodia and in Thailand with some of our extension companies, to whom we source many types of rice.
You may reach us with your requirement to discuss the project in details.
