Without our farmers, we cannot move forward. Our successful model starts with forging strong relationships with local farmers – by recruiting them through local organizations and our own field officers. But sometimes, farmers find us through word-of-mouth in their communities and proceed to participate in our training and certification program. Once they complete the program, they have the option to sell organic crops to Rohini Ventures for an organic premium, or in the local markets at conventional prices. We source most of our top-quality ingredients directly from small producers who are committed to organic farming and fair trade conditions.
We do not provide direct financial assistance to the farmers. However, what we do provide are quality inputs – including organic seeds, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides – to encourage organic farming practices, increase farm yields, and maintain high standards of the final product. We strive to make our farmers empowered, not dependent.
