JUNE 202219SKR GROUPENGINEERING TECH-DRIVEN SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR AGRICULTUREFrom sowing to harvesting, a farmer has to consider numerous parameters to get the best yield. When they make a timely decision in a scientific way, the crops can give a higher yield with lesser input. Countries like Israel and Netherlands have proven the same by enabling their farmers to leverage technology to get higher and better yields. The picture is different in India. As a result, the yield is very low and pest/disease occurrences are higher, leading to a loss of revenue for farmers. Embracing a heavy dose of innovation to disrupt this drowning Indian agriculture scenario, SKR group manufactures a comprehensive range of agricultural inputs from sowing to harvesting, equipment, motor pumps, and more.What started in 1981 to manufacture micronutrients - the most vital agricultural input in tune with the green revolution then expanded its strength vertically and horizontally to realize the potential of internal synergies. Now, the group is restructured bringing together all its companies under the flagship of SKR. Today, the SKR group manufactures all necessary agricultural inputs based on innovative technology. We started very small in 1981 with the manufacturing of Micronutrients. With time, we realized that it's very important to serve every need of farmers under one roof. Gradually we added all the products in our portfolio from sowing to harvesting with three state-of-art manufacturing facilities. Our next vision is to provide doorstep delivery of all services and products at the rural level", shares Shrikant Rathi.BREATHING TRANSFORMATIONSince its inception, the SKR group is striving to bring innovation to agriculture through technologies that will make farming more sustainable and increase the yield of the crops. Ultimately, the company's efforts reduce the input cost of farmers with low-cost innovative inputs and practices. It is focusing on primary adaptations towards organic practices to control diseases/pests and for nutrient conversion of available nutrients from the environment to crops. Also, providing solutions to the farmers along the lines of integrated nutrient management (INM), integrated water management (IWM), and integrated pest management (IPM).Technology has been at the core of the group's endeavors and offerings. "We are a well-known face as a leading manufacturer of biofertilizer, biopesticide, micronutrients, plant growth promoters, and cost-effective, innovative technologies.
