As the biggest problem in serving farmers is the form of timely and adequate funding to them. For robust growth one must have continuous & realtime flow of funds for supplies & services. Presently this is the biggest and final challenge, which the company is attending with its own sources of funds, either in the form of debt or equity in our venture financing division. "The biggest problem in serving farmers is in the form of timely and adequate funding to farmers. We want to address such challenges in our own sources of funds, either in the form of debt or equity in our venture financing division," explains, Pramod Mishra, ED & CEO of Venture Finance Division.
