Maximising your potential
Agro Consulting
Overview
Agricultural Consulting and R&D
There is a need to develop an end-to-end package tailored to local environments for specific crops and agro-ecologies. There is also an urgent need to educate farmers and field staff in cultivation practices for field-level implementation of specific agricultural, horticultural, and forestry projects. Not all organizations, private or public, are geared for in-house R&D, as this requires a scientific temper, complex problem-solving, considerable human resources, and dedicated funding.
At Urvara Krsi, we are strongly committed to meeting the industry’s Agriculture & Agroforestry-related R&D needs. Our experts are equipped with all the necessary skillsets & knowledge to undertake R&D consultancy projects, and we also offer project-specific advisory on field extension services involving farmer education, training, and monitoring project progress.
One key feature that we provide in advisory services to clients is an objective perspective on the problems their organisation struggles with.

Our Approach
We cater to companies looking to enhance their farmer network, strengthen their R&D, and experiment with new crops and geographies by enabling clients to work closely with local communities to identify new crops, launch pilot projects, and set up low-cost plantation programs
Phase 1: Understanding your requirements
Assessment
Depending on where you are and where you want to be, we define the problem statement and goal. With that in mind, we evaluate scalability, customer acquisition models, and the growth rate of each product segment to help you achieve the target. In this phase, we also benchmark the cost structure and assess the farmer network and existing R&D infrastructure.
Phase 2: Designing the framework
Planning
Once the assessment is complete, we construct an in-depth action plan with a fixed timeframe to achieve your goals. The plan details optimal deployment of the team of agricultural experts in specific geographical regions, and also defines the farmer outreach program. Alongside, we create roadmaps for future research & development infrastructure to ensure support at crucial dates and times.
Phase 3: Integration with farmers
Onboarding
We identify farmers & stakeholders key to the success of the program, and then define & explain sustainable farming methods to ensure compliance. We create detailed, periodic farmer & staff training modules to ensure technical handholding throughout the cycle.
Phase 4: Execution & oversight
Implementation
On the ground, we implement extension tools and ensure 100% traceability for your products. We employ a scientific approach to assess impact and to update & adapt programs regularly as results come in through the program.
