Paddy, Wheat and sugarcane are our main crops. Earlier the production in the field was so low, that it was difficult to sustain my family. Three years ago, I went to a farmer seminar which was organized by IFFCO Kisan. Their officials guided us about their Green SIM card and the benefits related to it. With the use of Green SIM card over these years, I and all my farmer friends in the village are receiving useful information related to farming, animal husbandry, govt. schemes. It makes me aware of farming aspects every day through its messages, and this is evident from my thinking, the prosperity of my family and the respect that I receive from the people in society. I am very thankful to IFFCO Kisan for providing us with all knowledge related to farming.

I had always wanted to grow tomatoes but due to the lack of money, I was unable to do so. Last year I joined IFFCO Kisan’s contract farming project and my life has completely changed since then. With this project, I have been able to borrow the fertilizers and pesticides required for farming. Also, I am daily guided by IFFCO Kisan experts who come to my field and inform me about all the diseases and pests that can occur on the tomato crop, cultivation and harvesting. The tomato production in my field has now increased by 5% with improvised quality. I am very thankful for being a part of this project run by IFFCO Kisan.

I had been practising farming and animal husbandry with old techniques and this had always cost me more. Last year, I went to a seminar organized by IFFCO Kisan and from there I got to know about green SIM card. With this card, I get useful information on farming and animal husbandry by talking to agriculture and veterinary experts. In this camp, the veterinary doctor briefed about the scientific approach of animal husbandry such as regular immunization and conception etc. He also briefed us about the production of clean milk. This initiative of IFFCO Kisan has benefited our village immensely. I thank IFFCO Kisan very much for organizing a free veterinary camp that briefed us on animal husbandry techniques.

I have been associated with IFFCO Kisan for the past 7 years. Because of the field visits and expert guidance by IFFCO kisan, my profit from tomato farming has increased. Now I receive a fair rate for my tomatoes, which is higher than the market rate. I am also able to save 5% cost of farming because of the high-quality seeds that I get at a low rate. The cost of these varieties is very low as well as there is no need for wire and bamboo for planting these. I need to harvest these fruits only 5 times, which also saves on labour costs. I am very thankful to IFFCO Kisan for providing us all the information related to agricultural practices.
