This exemplary feat underlines the company’s commitment to lead and transform the farming landscape in India to ensure farmer prosperity.

Our significant improvements in the product line and related farm technologies have empowered us to achieve progressive growth and we will continue to ensure that farmers reach new levels of productivity and profitability.”
