IG International, one of India's largest fresh fruit importers, has formed a joint venture with Aatregreen, a company that specialises in protected cultivation systems such as net houses, green houses, and tunnel systems, to form IG Aatreyas, which will assist growers in adopting best cultivation practises, primarily through protected cultivation tunnel systems.
The tunnel system will be used to grow fruits and vegetables in a protected environment. By 2024, the newly formed company hopes to reach a revenue of Rs. 100 crore, as well as expand into international markets by becoming "one of the world's largest tunnel system manufacturers."
According to a joint statement, Aatregreen has "redefined agriculture and protected cultivation methods" with its inventive offerings of shade net houses for tunnel farming. It has completed 3.76 million square metres of protected cultivation projects in India and 0.28 million square metres in other countries.
East Africa, West Africa, South Asia, West Asia, and North Africa are all served by the company's operations. Through its field-scale tunnels, tunnel covers and net houses, and garden tunnels, it has assisted in removing uncertainty in cultivation methods.
"This partnership enables us to provide cultivators with the pertinent products and tools required to thwart the effects of climate change on crops," said Sanjay Arora, Director at IG International Pvt Ltd.
"Through IG Aatreyas, we hope to catalyze better harvesting practices that would not only benefit the growers but also provide the patrons with the best quality fresh produce on their plates," said Mahendrabhai, Founder & Chairman of Aatreyas Agro.
