Kamatan Farm Tech strongly believes in building a socially inclusive ecosystem by addressing the needs of both  producers and buyers. They are doing so by representing the farmers as an aggregate, while organizing the buyers. The company works with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), rather than individuals as it allows it to  aggregate the potential of farmers and unlock new value chains.

Kamatan Farm Tech seeks to build efficient  supply chains for all farm produce, leveraging technology to reduce wastage and inefficiencies, while linking  producers and bulk buyers in a seamless, transparent, and value-driven relationship. The company handles the  entire range of farm produce, sourced directly from farmers and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and  customize the supply model for each buyer. 

By assisting the farmers in the implementation of best practices in producing, harvesting, packaging, and  transporting produce, Kamatan Farm Tech makes sure that they get value for their produce that is significantly  higher than the traditional supply-chain offered them earlier. Through nation-wise marketing linkages, from  traders in the biggest mandis/hubs to large modern trade retailers in metros, the company makes sure that quality  produce reaches the market.

Kamatan Farm Tech has made deep investments in setting up warehouse  infrastructure, distribution centers and logistics. This is achieved by using the company technology platform as  the backbone and vastly experienced execution team, led by founders with deep expertise in the fields of:  agricultural policy making, farming best practices, farmer network, distribution, logistics and technology.
