By advocating for regional production and consumption, AgriTech D2C has gained prominence, and Pradeep PS will be representing the company at this prestigious event.
According to Pradeep, the UN programme will provide FarmersFZ with the platform to present its model before countries across continents.
“The model would require alterations based on the nature of the markets in each economy. For that we need funds, which will come through the Accelerator,” he said.
FarmersFZ is a pioneering platform that serves as a direct link between rural farmers and urban consumers in Kerala. Their primary objective is to deliver fresh, top-notch vegetables that are free from pesticides to consumers within a remarkable 24-hour window from the time of harvest, providing an exceptional farm-to-table experience.
