This MoU will extend the reach of IFFCO’s Nano Fertilisers and Specialty Products to the remotest parts of country, ensuring the reach of world-class agri-inputs at affordable prices through the local FPOs to small farmers.
FDRVC, with its expansive network of FPOs across diverse geographies, will facilitate last-mile outreach, farmer education, and promotion of these inputs through community-led mechanisms.
