Agri-tech firm KissanPro, based in Jharkhand, provides crop advisory to over 20,000 farmers in Jharkhand and also supplies inputs and marketing services to around 5,000 farmers in Ranchi, Hazaribagh and Bokaro districts. This week, the firm has issued a statement saying that it has signed a pact with Dubai-based Barakat Vegetables & Fruit Co to help farmers market their produce in Middle East.
Co-founder and CEO Ravindra Dasoundhi said the company has tied up with many institutional buyers and importers to help farmers market their produce. KissanPro has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Barakat Vegetables & Fruit Co, Dubai, UAE, to facilitate market access to as far as the Middle East for their agricultural produces.
Barakat Vegetables import fresh produce from over 30 countries but the share of fresh produce imported from India is merely four per cent, the company said in a statement.
