Fidak Farms

About Us

a little story about us

Fidak Farms is a private sector company set up to conduct farm management operations based on modern farming methods and innovative techniques,grounded in the cutting edge research being carried out by the various agricultural research institutes in the country as well as internationally. Our objective is to increase the viability of various dimensions of farming as a profit-making economic activity thereby maximizing the productivity of farmland for landowners and farmers.

We believe that in the absence of large scale dissemination of agricultural research has impeded growth and productivity in the agricultural sector resulting in the evident decline in productivity.We believe in a strong nexus between agricultural research institutions and agricultural practitioners to bring about a revolution that would transform the agriculture sector in the country.

We offer a comprehensive set of solutions to the problems that are currently facing landowners particularly those with small holdings who have watched their agricultural income dwindle over the previous decade.A perfect storm of adverse circumstances ____lack of government policy incentives, climate change, increased cost of business, low adoption of modern techniques and methods, to name a few____ has brought about a situation where agricultural output has failed to keep pace with the rate of population growth.

In this scenario, we believe it is time for the private sector to step up and deliver on the promise of this largely agricultural economy.

As a company,we ascribe to the net positive impact principles and believe in giving back to the society and believe that economic growth can only be sustainable when it goes hand in hand with social development.

Innovation

Reliance on Research

Whether it is transitioning to higher value crops or development of varieties that enhance productivity, Fidak Farms has a strong emphasis on research and has developed strong linkages with creditable research institutes.

 

Focus on Sustainability

Conservation and proper channeling of resources to meet the challenges faced by the climatological changes is a key factor influencing decision-making at Fidak Farms. Our farm management planning involves strategies for limiting water wastage and reducing soil degradation.

Digitization

Digitization of farm planning and execution processes and recourse to modern project management tools to ensure efficient utilization of human and other resources including agricultural inputs and prevent leakages that eat into the landowner’s profit margins is a priority for Fidak Farms.

Inclusion

Vision Aligned with National Sectoral Goals

With its adherence to the Net Positive Impact (NPI) principles, Fidak Farms is committed to contributing to the achievement of the overall sectoral goals that would ensure that the largest sector of a largely agrarian economy thrives and becomes the most productive.

 

Empowering Farmers

Farmers have traditionally survived on subsistence production with very few undertaking experiments to reduce risks of any kind. This has, inter alia impeded export oriented farming in the country., many, in the last three decades have experimented export crops with occasional success and many failures. With farmers at the centre of its corporate focus, Fidak Farms aims to introduce these marginalized enterprises as essential players in a globalized market.

Promoting Women in Agriculture

Women living in the rural areas have been essential to the farming activities being conducted. However, their roles have been limited to low-paying seasonal jobs mostly at the time of harvest. Fidak Farms aims to engage women as skilled, agricultural professionals earning decent livelihoods and attaining job satisfaction due to professional development.

Integration

Digital Integration

Digital integration of agricultural systems from cultivation to marketing will open knowledge management avenues and introduce efficient controls and enhanced communication

Value Chain Management

Improved linkage between the farm and market not merely in terms of providing physical access to the cultivator but ensuring farm planning processes are aligned with market demands and account for the marketability of commodities.

Zonal Agriculture

Fidak Farms aims to advocate for and promote agricultural zoning to prevent non-farming uses of viable farmlands and will support government initiatives for introducing agricultural zones in keeping with the kind of crops suited to a region.
