Varun Agro is dealing with more than 6400 farmers.
Varun Agro has given more than 80 training to farmers in last year.
Varun Agro And HUL work together in PPP where more than 6400 farmers got benefited in last year by getting subsidies in Crates, Pack house, Pesticides, Seeds, etc .
Varun Agro supports the education and other athletic program for underprivileged children in neighbouring villages close to its factories.
Varun, has helped to deliver capacity for our companies growth in Tomato and to ensure that together we both enjoy a competitive business. They have partnered with farmers through a contract farming approach and have reached 650 farmers in the first year. They have also partnered with our companies enabling parties like Bayer Crop Science in furthering the sustainable agriculture practices. All of the above has also been conducted under the auspices of a successful PPP together with the Maharashtra government.
Beyond compliance Varun had to focus then on managing a contract farming network of 650 small holder farmers in order to deliver the right quality of tomato to the facility at the right time. The facility would also need to process these tomato’s to produce the right quality and quantity of paste under contract from Unilever in its first full year of operation.
