About this app

Challenges like market linkage, processing, branding, financial support and technology mobilization,
among various others, have long hindered the growth potential of Farmer Producer Organizations
(FPO) and small farmers. With the rising number of FPOs a proactive approach was needed to
overcome the persistent challenges they face.
To tackle these hurdles head on, Ploughman Agro Private Ltd. (PAPL), a dynamic social enterprise
was conceptualized and established as a private limited company registered under the Companies
Act. 2013. PAPL is dedicated to revolutionizing the agri-business landscape by facilitating the
aggregation and trading of produce from farmer producer organizations.
By strategically identifying optimal markets, seamlessly integrating supply chains, and ensuring best
pricing, PAPL empowers FPOs to thrive and optimize their agricultural practices. Through
comprehensive solutions of PAPL, FPOs can navigate the intricate web of challenges and pave the
way for a more prosperous future for the small farmer communities. We have our headquarters in
Madhya Pradesh, a strategic central location in smallholder-dominant central India with highest
growth in agricultural productivity in the last few years, which is also the leading state in FPO
promotion.
