KOCHI, JAN. 3:
The Kerala-based Amrutham Bio Organic Research and Development Centre, producers and exporters of organic manure and bio fertilisers, has proposed to open 1,000 outlets in the South by 2013.
Apart from organic manure and bio fertilisers, these outlets will be providing equipment like sprayers, trollies, pots, nets, potting soils, soil conditioners, bio pesticides and herbal pesticides. To promote organic farming, the company is also planning to form clubs in educational institutions, Mr Amrutham Reji, Managing Director, said.
The company, with a customer base of 75,000 is the only firm to deliver enriched organic manure and bio fertilisers through Raidco, Market Fed, Kudumbasree, Kisan Welfare Marketing Society etc. Last year, the company had achieved a turnover of Rs 15.65 crore, which is expected to touch Rs 30 crore this year.
The company is also entering the solar power sector by providing 100 per cent green energy solutions to tackle the energy crisis. The new technology, comprising solar panels and lithium ion batteries, will be able to provide a wide range of services which includes 100 hours of continuous power supply .
The project, envisaged by Anjumoorthymangalam in Vadakkancherry, is ready to implement and it has gained acceptance from various cell phone companies. Cell phone companies can use this technology to power their cell sites, thus making communication possible to even the remotest villages of the country which lacks electricity and other basic infrastructure, Mr Reji said.
The company had developed its own bio-fertiliser and organic manure at its microbiology lab. The organic chain of Amrutham Bio Organic Research and Development Centre was first established in Palakkad and later developed to all the districts. It has branches in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The company has also expanded to Oman, Uganda and Saudi Arabia. Amrutham Bio is exporting coco-peat to UAE, which is an important basic material in developing meadows and gardens in desert sand.
