Farmers in Haryana have been experiencing low productivity due to traditional farming practices and usage of harmful pesticides and fertilisers which deteriorate soil and crop health. WRMS, an agriculture and dairy risk management company, has been transforming the agricultural landscape of Haryana by running projects in over 200 villages of Haryana in crops like tomato, potato, wheat, cotton and paddy.
It has recently signed an MOU with NIFCO - Nilo Kheri Farmer Producer Company in Karnal Haryana. Through this partnership, it will empower the onion farmers of the Rambha region of the Karnal district by providing them with rule engine based farm level SecuFarm advisory services. With SecuFarm, these onion farmers will get farm level crop management advisory which will help them achieve water management, yield enhancement, use of climate smart agro chemicals, early detection and control of pest attacks, real time weather advisory for timely decision making, and post harvest market linkages.
Dr Sardar Singh, director of NIFCO, said, “We are extremely excited with our association with WRMS as we are confident that SecuFarm services will increase the crop yield of our onion farmers and educate them on sustainable farming practices. Our mission, Our Identity, Prosperous Farmer! Poison free farming, disease free life! This is in sync with the mission of WRMS, thus, we are very sure that this association will prove win-win for both the parties.”
Rahul Babele, State Head, Haryana (WRMS), said, “We see immense possibility in our association with NIFCO. Having worked with farmers of crops like cotton, paddy, tomato, and potato in Haryana, we understand the key challenges faced by them in the state. This learning will help us serve the onion farmers of NIFCO even better and provide them with digital SecuFarm services that will help them combat those challenges.”
