Agriculture

In India, agriculture constitutes one quarter of the Indian economy. More significant, it employs two-thirds of the nation's workforce and feeds a population of one billion people. Tata Chemicals believes that empowering farmers, enriching the land and enhancing agricultural productivity are key factors to the nation's prosperity.

Tata Chemicals touches lives in agriculture through several ways: its basket of crop nutrition products, its Tata Kisan Sansar network, and its fresh produce sourcing and distribution business, Khet-Se Agriproduce.

Tata Kisan Sansar
The Tata Kisan Sansar (TKS) is a network of nearly 600 farmer resource centres that caters to more than 3.5 million farmers in 22000 villages in the northern part of India. The centres are one-stop solution shops that provide farmers access to a wide range of agricultural inputs such as vital fertilisers, seeds, and pesticides; agricultural services such as soil testing, crop information, and credit and insurance facilities; and IT-enabled market information.

The objective of the TKS network is to enable and empower the farmer in creating and generating more value for farm produce by providing information on new and improved agronomic practices and by facilitating better and more efficient use of agricultural inputs.
