About SJS India
The objective of the apple project is to create a profitable model of business driven, decentralized independent and small scale production with coordinated arrangements for processing and marketing by providing technical, managerial and investment support to enable farmers collectively to move up the value chain with the help of ICT ( Information & Communication Technology). The need for the Apple project was felt after the realisation that small farmers in a market-oriented agribusiness get further marginalised mainly due to the dominance of mandis, a chain of well-organised intermediaries who control the entire process from credit supply for farm inputs, transportation and marketing of produce. Inaccessibility of purchasing hubs, lack of economies of scale due to limited production by individuals, the seasonality and perishability of a crop such as apples make it difficult for small farmers to coordinate a smooth supply of their produce to markets. As a result the produce is sold in bulk without any value addition and differentiation according to quality, size etc.
