Description

AgroStar's platform solves three major problems of farmers - limited access to good quality agri inputs, gap in knowledge and information due to traditional farming, and lack of access to the best markets to sell their produce. Through real-time agronomy advisory and access to quality farm inputs, AgroStar has enabled farmers to grow better quality crops, increase their yields by 30-100%, and reduce expenses. Additionally, through the acquisition of INI Farms, AgroStar helps farmers sell their produce in domestic and global markets that offer a better rate. Today, AgroStar serves millions of farmers across five Indian states via an omnichannel approach, including India's largest Agri Advisory Center, a digital farmer network on the AgroStar app with over 5 million users, and a retail network of 3500+ stores.
