Development of an Integrated Strawberry Supply Chain
SFPCL has established an integrated strawberry supply chain in Nashik district, providing imported mother plants, farmer training, group farming support, and direct procurement of harvested produce. The Company also manufactures punnet-making machinery and packaging punnets to support post-harvest handling.
The supply chain begins with the sale of imported strawberry mother plants to farmers, followed by capacity-building workshops, where experts provide guidance on fertilizer management, plant protection, and cultivation techniques. The Company conducts village-level visits to promote group farming and assist farmers in resolving cultivation-related challenges.\n\nSFPCL also facilitates the collection of harvested produce directly from farmers' locations, reducing transportation requirements and enhancing efficiency. Additionally, the Company manufactures punnet-making machinery and produces strawberry punnets at competitive prices to support post-harvest handling and packaging.
