Company Detail:
Himalayan farmer development trust (A federation of small apple growers in Uttarakhand Himalayan) and social inventors have formed a joint venture enterprise, FFT Himalayan Fresh Produce Pvt. Ltd. (FFTH). A new approach to local economic development has been experimentally tested in India since 2006, with farmer-led firms being established. Farmers' groups are now equal business partners with private sector parties and a social investor, which is a novel concept in this strategy. This social investor, Stichting Groene Woudt (SHGW), is eager to invest in the establishment of agro-businesses that can add enough value to farmers' products to become healthy, self-sustaining farmer-owned businesses.
