Agriculture
In India, more than 70 % people depend on agriculture for their livelihood and subsistence. Similar scenario exists in many developing countries. In the current context of food insecurity this sector becomes more important. We provide services to plan agricultural projects which include technology transfer, farming system development, farmers’ capacity building and linkage development. We undertake feasibility studies, business planning, detailed engineering reports, and resource mobilization and implementation management for agribusiness projects.
Feasibility Studies and Project Management consultancy Services (PMS)
PriMove provides services for situation assessment, challenge definition, strategy development and action planning for various agricultural projects. We assist farmers or farming communities (ex. Producer Groups) in developing backward and forward linkages such as providing them options for alternative or direct markets, setting up their business activities, helping them improve their pre and post-harvest activities etc. We also guide them to establish fully functional Producer Companies (PCs) and Farmer Common Service Centers (FCSCs) at cluster level.
