Mr. Vasant Rao, Director, HPL Global Services Pvt Ltd says-
Our main effort is to do away with the middleman. We therefore are in the process of starting our own collection center at Hoskote where we will link the farmers directly to the overseas markets. Since HPL is promoted by IT professionals, we will use IT Technology in our operations so that the farmers can plan their production based on overseas demand. Hi Tech farming ensures the wastage will be minimized on the farms and the quality of the produce will ensure that there is very little rejection of the produce at the farm level. Also, risk from pests, climate change, etc. will be minimized.
For direct export by farmers to the overseas markets requires knowledge of export formalities, packaging and pricing which could not be expected. The best way is to link to exporters and directly send the produce to them. We help farmers to understand the overseas markets and the type of produce that they expect especially in the large hotel resorts, hyper markets and wholesale markets. The produce should be free of pesticide and packed in food grade quality cartons.
