Dear Sir,
I will some of my experience in Agri. based business. When i returned from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
i decided start Agri. input business in kerala. So I travelled all over Kerala and found idukki, The
cardamom growing district is the potential area. Without knowing ABC of cardamom it was not
healthy to enter the field. Then I started Polyhouse vegetable project -Biofarms, within 18 months
biofarms become popular in TV channels, News papers etc… Then i started Agri. Business center
with the support of 5 farmers. with 4.5 lakhs investment. After 4 years it is having a turnover of
more than 7 crores. such small groups with 4 more outlets in idukki, with annual turnover ranging
from 1.2 crores to 3 crores. We are having Distributorship of Devidayal sales Ltd, Bharat
Insecticides Ltd, Crystal phosphate Ltd, tropical Agro systems, Jeypee Biotech etc… Interesting
thing is operated by farmers -with strict recommendations & quality control of Biofarms.
First of all for a successful business in agri. inputs give technical service, politeness, become a
member of farmers. TRUST -is the foundation of all. but i am working in adistrict of kerala, with the
same strategy I have stated in Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh also.
I am happy with my strategies, so i have no competition from any Multinational companies
Even i am not caring them. My market development activities co ordinated by farmers only.
This is the small experience of Biofarms, If you can add something MOST welcome
Thank you
Good Luck
Yes,
Knowing the world around, identifying the needs, setting up of strategy and executing properly will makes win win situation for any one including Farmer. Most importantly dedication towards such work should more to achieve new heights.
