Corporate Profile: Agri-Service Division

Agrocel’s Service Division was founded in 1988, and has been dedicated to support farmers from the first day. Since then Agrocel field engineers have established contacts with over 20,000 farmers.

Our objective is to guide farmers towards sustainable agriculture and generate rural employment. This means improving farming methods, maintaining fertility of the soil and at the same time ensuring farmers’ profitability by output marketing. Focus is on small and marginal farmers in challenged areas.

We visit the farmers regularly, sell inputs, give training and advice and control documentation for organic and fair trade certification. This direct link with farmers gives us intimate knowledge of each farmer and knowledge of the source of basic raw material, thus guaranteeing an intimate knowledge of the end-product. A customer can obtain guaranteed and controlled production.

The head office of Agrocel service division is located in Koday, Kutch.
