 Production & Processing | |
Beginning with a modest office of a little over 200 sq. ft in 1976 and an initial production of 150 quintals Ankur received an overwhelming response from the people of Vidarbha for its public bred varieties of cotton, jowar and okra. The company then expanded its production acitivities to Andhra pradesh, Gujrat and other parts of Maharashtra. With an ever increasing demand for its quality seeds Ankur started production in its own processing units in the year 1983 at Tirupati and Kisanagar. The company provides employment opportunities to over 30000 persons annually through its contract farming practices. These persons residing in various parts of the country undertake seed production for the company under the able guidance of our professionals. The staff works hand in hand with the growers to check the isolation, genetic purity and health of the seeds in the field to facilitate production of excellent quality seeds. The company also provides guidance to the farmers in the use of fertilizers. Thus the farmers gain expertise even for independant cultivation of various crops. | |
