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.
