Leading Vegetable Plantation in Chhattisgarh Reaps Exceptional Returns With FarmERP
Introduction
A prominent vegetable plantation enterprise based out of Chhattisgarh approached FarmERP a few years ago. It was facing numerous issues both on the operational and business management front. This was having an adverse impact on the productivity of its field operations as well as hampering profits substantially.
This agro-enterprise grows tomato, chilli, capsicum, and many more vegetable crops. Fruit crops such as dragon fruit, dates, pomegranate, etc are also cultivated. It has plantations situated in 5 states of India. This was making it difficult to have strong control over operations across all the locations.
It’s been 3 years since this company has integrated FarmERP’s advanced system into its agribusiness. FarmERP has successfully strengthened the plantation management efforts of the agribusiness. With FarmERP’s support, the plantation enterprise has managed to get rid of all the critical concerns that were previously affecting its growth.
Challenge
- With widely spread plantations at multiple locations, the number of labourers employed by the agro-enterprise was quite large. As a result, the expenditure of the plantation business on labour activities was massive.
- With no efficient system in place, the agro enterprise was finding it hard to track activities and manage the costs of labourers in real-time.
- The agro-enterprise has plantations situated in different states of India. Controlling operations of multiple plantations as well as managing the inventories for each of these plantations was extremely challenging for the client.
- One of the main concerns inhibiting the growth of the agro-enterprise was the problem of identifying profitable markets due to reliance on manual procedures. This was depriving the plantation business of getting the deserved price for its agriproducts.
