Services
Agri Business Centre (ABC) is an agri clinic where farmers can obtain farm care inputs along with farm services. Not all farmers can afford to purchase farm equipment and machinery.
ABC steps in to fill the gap and provides the farmers with access to farm machinery and equipment on hire. ABC also provides them access to labour to work at their farms on a need basis, along with inputs. These agri-ventures are established with the help of local entrepreneurs and provide services like rotavators, power tillers, the sale of inputs, labour services at affordable prices, etc. Thus, these centres act as agri-clinics and are envisaged to provide expert advice and services to farmers on various aspects to enhance productivity, thus increasing the farmer’s income.
Currently, we have established four ABCs, three of which are in Pollachi and one in Thanjavur. Looking at the success of this initiative and its prospectively larger reach among farmers, more such centres are planned to be set up. Thus, we are looking not only to strengthen the farmers by providing them with farm resources locally but also to motivate the local entrepreneurs to start up their new businesses in the local economy.

Farmers Testimonials
Pollachi
Senthilvel
I have over 300 trees on my farm. My farming practices were not so organised, and hence, I faced many difficulties in nurturing my trees to give good yields. Fortunately, in the year 2018, Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation representatives paid regular visits to my farm, educated me about various techniques, and saved my farm from pest attacks. Compared to previous yields, I am getting a substantial quantity increase on my farm this year.

I have been involved in farming since 1974. Despite the experience I had in farming, I was stuck when the rhinoceros beetle attacked my trees. The Parachute Kalpavriksha Team has guided me with clear strategies on how to trap pests and arrest them. Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation has also shared knowledge on water management techniques for increasing the yield per tree and strategies to save water during drought seasons. I am very happy they are visiting my farm once a month to guide me on various aspects of farming.

We have been involved in farming practices for over 25 years. Stem bleeding disease had affected trees to a large extent. So, we decided to call the Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation team for inspection. After inspection, their team suggested remedies to overcome the disease. We applied those techniques and heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the increased nitrogen levels in our soil, which benefited us with a higher yield per tree. I wholeheartedly thank the Parachute Kalpavriksha Foundation for its service to farmers!
Keep serving the farmer community.
