French retailer Carrefour organized a farmer empowerment camp at Mithapur village in Haryana with an objective to train them for improving the yield and quality of their production.
On this occasion Mr. Yannick Douville, Director (fresh department), Carrefour India, said, "Our scientists have imparted technical resource support on four crops, including wheat, gram, mustard and tomato, during the camp. These camps are part of our community development program, wherein we aim to accelerate the growth of Indian agriculture. We have conducted six such camps in the last one year in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, which had benefited more than 1,000 farmers by an overall increase in their crop yield by 10%".
In India, Carrefour presently works with nearly 90 suppliers and farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab and Haryana and exports goods worth the $170 million from the country.
Nearly 150 farmers attended the camp that included various sessions on irrigation, climatic conditions, manure, fertilizers and marketing of products, Carrefour officials said.
