What Is Project Zaraat?

Farmers in India face the problem of Post-Harvest Losses, wherein they lose produce worth in excess of Rs. 93,000 lakh crores per year. As the current storage solutions are deemed to be expensive & inaccessible for the farmers, we saw an opportunity to turn things around for the better and initiate – Project Zaraat!

Project Zaraat aims to minimize Post-Harvest Losses & uplift the farming community by enhancing forward linkages through a self-sustaining social enterprise. Via our Project, we plan to provide farmers with an affordable, microclimate-based portable storage that extends the shelf-life & preserves the freshness of produce by up to 7 days!

Mission

Our mission is to reach out to and help as many small & marginal farmers suffering due to the plague of post-harvest losses, and equip them with the tools to take matters into their own hands. Gone would be the days that the common Indian farmer would be at the mercy of middlemen with no bargaining power; rather we plan to set numerous farmers on a journey towards a more sustainable lifestyle, and a higher standard of living!

Vision

Our vision is to further make Project Zaraat more scalable and diverse by organizing our farmers into FPOs so that they are able to take advantage of collective bargaining, and introduce various other verticals into our Project such as composting, organic farming and so on!
