Wavar and Samunnati Partner to Boost Farmer Practices
Wavar, a company that helps farmers manage pests, is teaming up with Samunnati, a company that works with farmer groups.
They want to help farmer groups, called FPOs/FPCs, by giving them better ways to grow crops, especially using IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
IPM helps farmers use fewer chemicals and grow healthier food.
This partnership will provide farmers with training, money, and help finding markets for their crops.
The goal is to make farming more sustainable and profitable for farmers.
The program starts in a few states in India and plans to expand to help more farmers.
Wavar partnered with Samunnati to strengthen Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).
The partnership aims to promote Integrated Pest Management (IPM) adoption across India.
Wavar's IPM products will be integrated into Samunnati's network of FPOs.
The collaboration seeks to strengthen FPO business models and improve farmer profitability.
Farmers will gain access to financing, market linkages, and capacity-building programs.
