Grain trading platform Arya.ag plans to transform 200 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) into Smart Institutions
The 200 Smart FPOs program was launched at Rith Summit 2.0 following stakeholder discussions from Rith 1.0 in December 2023
The initiative intends to empower FPOs by using technology and collaboration to increase efficiency, promote sustainable farming practices, and create climate-resilient value chains
The 200 Smart FPOs plan would target FPOs in Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka
The startup will collaborate with FPOs to offer technology, training, and support to improve their capabilities and promote long-term growth
The program will offer AI-powered crop advice services for data-driven decision-making and improved farming practices
Arya.ag will help farmers preserve digital records for traceability and transparency across the value chain
Corporate partnerships will be formed to promote sustainable procurement of produce and expand market potential for Smart FPCs
