Agrocel Service Centres (ASCs):

.Agrocel service centres offer a unique concept of one window service to the Indian farmers in managing their profitability by improving the yields and quality of agricultural outputs. ASCs get involved from pretiling stage to post harvest management of the agri-produce. In this process ASCs also ensure enrichment of the soil in order to preserve the soil value.

ASCs advice farmers for value addition of the agri-outputs and assist in marketing.

ASCs are located in different parts of the country and are managed by scientifically well trained technicians.

ASCs have now entered in an ambitious project of Organic Cotton Farming by educating farmers in cultivation of this high value cotton which has overwhelming demand in the global market.
