IFFCO Kisan Agriculture
India
Launched in 2015 by the Indian Farmers’ Fertilizer Cooperative Ltd, the IFFCO Kisan Agriculture App is a user-friendly platform designed to help Indian farmers make informed decisions. It offers modules for agricultural advisory, real-time weather updates and market prices, presented in text, imagery, audio and video formats to ensure accessibility in preferred languages. Farmers can connect directly with experts, find nearby crop-specific markets (mandis) and engage in online trading. The app also serves as a convenient marketplace for purchasing farming essentials. With an efficient Agri chatbot, curated news on agricultural practices and information on government schemes, it serves as a digital tool for farmers nationwide.
