About Us

Tech. Enabled Farmer Producer Company

Sreshta Farmer Producer Company (Sreshta Farms) was formed in Kollipara, Andhraradesh with a vision of building a technology-driven agriculture ecosystem for sustainable farming practices.

Sreshta Farms is one of the first Farmer Producer Companies with a digital identity for farmers through Bluenumber Foundation. Sreshta Farms with strong eco-system partner manage the FPC operations with 3 major focus areas 1) Soil, Seed & Inputs 2) Collection & Processing 3) Retail & Export Division

60-70% of input costs go into managing disease and pesticides and our inputs division helps our farmers get the soil ready, the right seed, and the necessary fertiliser & pesticides. Most of our technology implementation is focusing on getting the right inputs to the farm.

Spices & pulses processing, packaging, and storage facilities establish Sreshta Farms as a resourceful team to create a direct market link for the farmers. Sreshta farm will start selling most of the processed products at Sreshta.shop and on WhatsApp apart from the third-party online platforms and retail stores.

Input Division

Proper use of inputs and thorough soil preparation can significantly reduce the risk of costly failures in agriculture. Soil testing, crop-specific soil preparation, and appropriate seed selection are essential aspects of farming. Our inputs division offers a range of options, including different types of seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, to our members. By using these inputs and preparing the soil accordingly, farmers can maximize crop potential and profitability. Proper soil testing allows farmers to identify any deficiencies or imbalances in the soil, which can then be corrected with the appropriate fertilizers to improve soil health. Choosing the right seed variety for the specific growing conditions will lead to optimal crop growth and yield, and appropriate pesticide use helps control pests and diseases without harming the crop. By incorporating these steps in their farming technique, farmers can increase their chances of success and profitability.

Our partnership with Aeroespacial to utilize drones for pesticide spraying is helping us optimize the spray, and we look forward to implementing precision spraying in the next phase. NeoAura, in partnership with Blockchaind LLC and SimplyFi, is conducting a pilot with our farmers to measure carbon using blockchain technology. Our partnership with Bluenumber Foundation is a demonstration of our commitment to creating digital identities for our farmer community and it is an essential step towards achieving traceability.

Processing Division

Our processing division will process all the spices and pulses as well in the future. The processing center would also be responsible for developing value-added products such as spice blends, lentil flour, cottonseed oil, and other food items using the farm’s produce. This would enable the FPC to increase the value of their products and tap into new market segments.

With the strong passion of our Process Division Head, Sambi Reddy, and the support from the Department of Horticulture, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, we are establishing our first processing centre in Kollipara.

The processing center would work with the retail and export division to distribute the products to the customers. This would include arranging for the logistics of transportation, compliance with export regulations and building relationships with retailers and wholesalers. This processing centre will fulfil the current and projected demand for our internal customers and also explore potential export opportunities.
