Inclusive and Sustainable Agribusiness Model of Jain Irrigation for Replication in Newer Geographies with Small Holder Agriculture AAaaa
India is a country of Smallholders 87 % Farmers have land holding less than 2 hectares Technologies have to be Smallholder Compatible
What Small Holder needs? Increased Income Through Increased Productivity
Small holder needs Motivation High Tech Agri Inputs Technology and Knowledge Input Financing of Agri Inputs Access to Market Jain Irrigation has achieved this
Assured Price Quality Goods Increased Productivity Product Development The Jain Virtuous Self Sustaining Agri Cycle Sustainable Environment Renewable Energy, Bio Energy Solar Energy Watershed Planning Water harvesting oil/water Conservation Water Source Development Waste Land Development Credit Adequate & Timely Repayment & Security Soil Hi-tech Agri Inputs Climate Water Better Productivity Cost Savings Drip & Sprinkler Irrigation Tissue Culture Plants Bio Fertilizers Green houses PVC Piping Systems HDPE Piping Systems Knowledge Feedback R&D Agronomic Support More Investments More Profits contract Farming dehydrated Onion & vegetable Processed Fruit Manpower Markets Improved Quality Higher Value Turnkey Projects Agri Consulting Training Agronomy Advise Market Information Irrigation Scheduling Fertigation Scheduling 5

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AT JAINS WHAT IS INCLUDED.. Contract farming Backward linkages Sustainability reporting Carbon foot-printing Water foot-printing Jain GAP International initiatives for sustainable agriculture Development of supply chain crop specific Initiative for village development PPP experiments
Agricultural Biotechnology, R&D, Analysis & Testing Tissue culture plants especially bananas, pomegranate, citrus, sugarcane, potato; bio-fertilizers & bio-cultures. Thrust areas of R&D.: Molecular characterization, crop improvement & enhancement of product quality of onion, jatropha, pomegranate, mango and aonla; biochemical and molecular markers for varietal authentication; genetic transformation; fresh fruits and vegetables product development and processing of organic waste. Quality parameters testing of plants, soil, water, and food products.
Tissue Culture Plants World s largest & India s best tissue culture lab Production Capacity 80 million plants / year Grand Naine variety Banana plantlets, Pomegranate, Onion, Teak, Papaya, strawberry and many more plant species Greenhouses for primary hardening and shade houses for secondary hardening Early and uniform maturity, Disease free, Vigorous growth and higher yields Every plant is subjected to virus indexing

What all happened? Our sales increased by 10 times. Our profitability increased 7 times. Farmers productivity increased 3.5 times. Salary of associates increased 4 times. Employment went up 3 times. Water saving increased 3.5 times. Energy saving grew by 2 times.
Where did profit come from? Reduced rejection by about 10 times. Increased productivity per unit of resource employed. Excellence in management of: Human resources. Quality improvements. Innovation in every aspect of operation. R & D support. Economics of scale. Profit did not come from increase in price
How did each stake holder benefit? All in all, our approach was that we care and share with every stakeholder: The customer: Better product at reduced price. The associates: Higher compensation. The environment: Saving of Water and energy. Share holder: Higher Dividend. Government: Higher Tax revenue. The society: Employment generation, rural development and women empowerment.

Jain Gap- Farm Level Food Safety Primarily designed TO REASSURE CONSUMERS of the Processed Products about how food is produced on the farm by 1. Taking care of the Food Safety & health Hazard aspects 2. Reduce risks associated with the use of pesticides & other chemical inputs 3. Ensuring workers health, safety, Hygiene, sanitation & animal welfare 4. Sustainability of agriculture & other farm resources 5. Complete traceability of the Product upto farmer level
JAINGAP STANDARDS JAINGAP is a Country Level scheme and Trying to established itself as a key reference for Good Agricultural Practices any where in the country for Small & Marginal Farmers Pre farm-gate standard JAINGAP covers the process from farm inputs through all farm activities till the produce leaves the farm
Innovative Approach The initiation of Jain GAP is innovative approach as this is happening for the first time in India in corporate agriculture. This will also facilitate introduction of Good agricultural practices to a vast segment of farming community of small and marginal farmers, which otherwise would not have been possible.
Jain Irrigation in the water sector is active across all levels of shared value creation Clusters and Framework Conditions Advocating for financial incentives that encourage greater efficiency Products and Markets Enabling agricultural users to use water more efficiently and sustainably Supporting water rights markets with appropriate valuation and water rights trading mechanisms Promoting better watershed management and/or co-investing in strengthening water infrastructure Enabling industrial users to reduce water consumption and reuse industrial byproducts Enabling water utilities to improve water quality and increase service reliability Value Chain Productivity Using more waterefficient processes Enabling consumers to use less water or purify water to potable standards Increasing supplier awareness of process innovations The most common level of shared value creation for companies today is around value chain productivity 21
What is Integrated Irrigation Solution (IIS)? Integration of following components is referred as IIS Development of Water Source. Conveyance of water from source thru closed piping up to farm gate. On farm Irrigation thru Micro Irrigation which applies water to roots. Provision of Pumping, Power* network, Automation & Civil work. * Either Solar or Electrical. O & M, training & capacity building of beneficiaries through WUAs. 22
Water footprint of Onion and Dehydrated Onion The pilot study by Limno Tech +Nature Conservancy +Jain Irrigation + IFC on De-Hydrated Onion (DHO) with and without drip irrigation. Key results : Water foot print for DHO with Drip Irrigation Water Foot print for DHO on Flood Irrigation Savings = 1200 L/Kg per annum : - 1800L/kg : - 3000L/Kg Virtual water trade reduced = 15,000 (total ton)*1200 (WF)*1000* 30% (DHO produced on drip irrigated onion) = 1,80,00,000 m 3 = 18 MCM per Annum Water footprint of raw onion produced in farm on flood and drip irrigation
