Samunnati Products & Solutions

For Farmer Producer Organisations

Procuring good farm inputs like seeds, fertilizers, chemicals etc is important to the production process. Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are assisted by Samunatti in purchasing inputs in bulk and at wholesale prices. With Samunnati’s support, FPOs can now easily control participants, output purchases, and demand using the most up-to-date agricultural technologies. Samunnati collaborates with FPOs to form production capacities using the most up-to-date farming technologies in order to supply foreign markets.

Samunnati agrees that growing earnings cannot be the only metric for gauging a farmer’s success. Samunnati delivers instruction in a number of fields, including scenario analysis and market strategy, as well as agricultural finance awareness and disaster preparedness. They also tend to enhance logistics and, as a result, the size of production. A key thrust of their effort goes towards setting up of centres for excellence to educate and promote new farming techniques and modern technologies in agriculture.

For Agri enterprises

Agri enterprises include all companies that offer goods and services related to agricultural materials, production, transportation, distribution, and marketing, as well as related industries such as animal husbandry, fisheries, poultry, and forestry. There are for-profit companies that have solutions that address the demands of agricultural supply chains.

Samunnati brings in a path-breaking approach to agrarian lending by offering customized solutions, both financial and non-financial. Traditional agricultural loan goods are asset-backed, inflexible, parameterized, and often struggle to assess the risk parameters of value chain players. Samunnati provides financial options by exploiting the commodity of sales as well as the current buyer-seller partnerships.
