IFFCO Teams Up with FDRVC to Bring Nano Fertilisers to FPOs Across India

To promote sustainable agriculture and empowering rural farming communities IFFCO Teams Up with FDRVC to Bring Nano Fertilisers to FPOs Across India. The collaboration was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aiming to boost the growth and productivity.

In a significant move towards promoting sustainable agriculture and empowering rural farming communities, the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) has joined hands with the Foundation for Development of Rural Value Chains (FDRVC). The collaboration was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aiming to boost the growth and productivity of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) across the country.

What’s the Purpose of This Partnership?

The primary goal of this partnership is to provide FPOs with access to advanced and sustainable agricultural inputs, including IFFCO’s latest range of Nano Fertilisers, Bio-stimulants, Speciality Fertilisers, and organic products like Bio-fertilisers and Bio-decomposers. By facilitating access to these next-gen products, the initiative aims to:

Improve crop productivity
Reduce input costs for farmers
Promote environmentally friendly farming practices
Strengthen the rural agricultural economy

Who Are the Key Players?

This MoU was officially signed between Yogendra Kumar, Marketing Director of IFFCO, and Bipin Bihari, CEO of FDRVC. While IFFCO brings to the table its expertise in agri-input manufacturing and distribution, FDRVC, established under the Ministry of Rural Development, leverages its strong FPO network to ensure last-mile delivery and farmer engagement.

How Will Farmers and FPOs Benefit?

Coverage: The initiative targets over 800 FPOs and is expected to reach more than 1 million farmers nationwide.
Access to Innovation: Farmers associated with FPOs will get direct access to IFFCO’s cutting-edge nano and organic fertiliser products.
Better Prices, Better Reach: Products will be available at reasonable prices, even in remote areas, through local FPOs.
Training and Awareness: FDRVC will facilitate farmer training, awareness campaigns, and community outreach to ensure effective use of the products.
Institutional Strengthening: The partnership also focuses on building FPOs into self-reliant rural enterprises by enhancing their organisational capacities.

IFFCO Teams Up with FDRVC: Why It Matters

With agriculture being the backbone of rural livelihoods, this strategic collaboration comes at the right time. It aligns with the government’s focus on climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture, while encouraging collective farming practices for better bargaining power and profitability.

IFFCO’s commitment to empowering farmers with technology-driven solutions and FDRVC’s ground-level execution model can create a ripple effect in improving the agricultural landscape of India.
