EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
4. It is an agreement between farmers and agri-
product based business.
For production and supply of agricultural
produce under forward agreements majorly at
pre determined prices.
WHAT IS CONTRACT FARMING?
5. Why should farmers adopt contract farming?
More than 90% of farmers in India have no idea how much profit they will make
at the end of harvest. Why?
They don’t know what will be the market prices post harvest or about any
calamities that may happen which can ruin the complete crop.
As a result of which then commodity price may shoot-up high.
Depending upon market and weather conditions and that’s why farmers have no
clue on how much they earn until they complete the harvest and find a buyer.
BUT, we are trying to protect farmers produce from not being effected by market
conditions through educating and on-boarding them into farming contracts with
agri-businesses.
By this way farmer is completely assured about the income that he will make
even before the seeds are sown.
