A MISSION OF EMPOWERING FARMERS
​
It all starts and ends at farmers for us. Helping farmers to grow the best crop, sell their produce at best price, and then get the best value to re-do it all again with big smile and satisfaction over years, is what we wish to achieve with our initiative of Orchards to Home.
Our farmers and their orchards are spread across the hills of Himachal with major crop produce coming from regions of Shimla, Kullu, Sirmour, Mandi, Chamba, & Kinnaur. Often remote and disconnected, these orchards and their farmers faces difficulty to break the barrier of series of middlemen which actually absorbs almost 80% of profitability coming from final price at which end consumer buys it. So after putting their entire year of hard work and tons of love, what they get is mere 20% of actual profits.
​
HimachalApples has reached out these very farmers, empanneling them and equipping them with a platform to sell their apples to end consumers easily. Providing a right price and to help the farmer’s community to develop further with sustainability, is a vision that stays at core of all the work we do at HimachalApple.in
Everytime we make a farmer independent and strong, we make a pillar of Indian economy stronger and sustainable. We strongly believe that a prosperous farmer contributes not only for its country or its citizen but also for keeping the mother earth green and balanced.
​
We are aimimg at empowering our farmers to use best commercial (but eco friendly and sustainable) farm practices. Helping them to connect with easy access technology to manage their farms and its produce in a better way. Increasing effeciency and hence their sustainability in ever changing competitive world.
