We’re globally local – we call it
Glocal
Farm Botanica applies the principles of Demand Driven Supply Chain in combination with the Farm toBusiness strategy to procure, process and distribute the fresh produce. It helps us in:
Handling sudden spike or drop in demand without disrupting the supply schedules.
Forecasting and regulating market conditions to make sure farmers always get the right compensation.
Retaining freshness in the produce and ensure longevity in storage.
Achieving visibility in demand and supply levels throughout the supply chain.
Reducing post-harvest loss and the need to step up production significantly to compensate the loss.
With the motto “Grow, Preserve and Provide”, our operations are segregated into two divisions –
Production
With the well-established Crop Focused Clusters (CFC), individual farmers and farmer organizations come together to form our production division.
Allowing them tofocus completely in farming without worrying about marketing the produce, and the result is high quality produce.
Supply Chain
Our supply chain division takes up the responsibility of ensuring:
- That harvested commodities are alive with sustained chemical and respiration processes
- That globally accepted quality and cleanliness is maintained
