Arya.ag, an agritech startup, aims to modernize farmer producer organizations

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
