The Mann ki Baat address has boosted our confidence and energy.  This will encourage us to put more efforts in bringing a positive impact in the life of farmers.”

Currently, Farmkart distributes more than 700 agri-products from famous global and domestic brands such as YARA fertilisers, BASF, Valagro etc.
