Hybrid Napier Grass
Multi-cut perennial grass yielding 200+ tonnes/acre/year — feedstock for both biorefinery and livestock silage.
Farming
Regenerative cultivation, engineered for circular yield.
High-yield Napier grass (75%) and Maize (25%) grown by FPO farmers under contract — precision-mechanised, soil-restoring, and integrated end-to-end.
Maize Intercropping
Short-duration maize cycles balance the cropping calendar and add starch-rich feedstock for enhanced biogas yield.
Mechanised Harvest
High-capacity forage harvesters and shredders enable just-in-time delivery to ensiling bunkers.
Soil Restoration
Digestate from the biorefinery returns to the same fields as organic fertiliser — closing the nutrient loop.
Water Discipline
Drip and sprinkler irrigation with moisture sensors — Napier needs ~40% less water than sugarcane for similar biomass.
Farmer Income
Contracted buy-back delivers ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 per acre per year, depending on the intensity of farming.

Flagship · FPO Reimagined
FPOs failed in India because they were treated as charity.We are redesigning them as a landscape stakeholder play.
India is home to ~500 million farmers and allied workers — 67% marginal, 18% small. Every previous Farmer Producer Organisation model treated them as recipients of aid. Agropolis treats them as co-owners of an inclusive landscape economy — hedged by banks, secured by contracts, and value-engineered at the village edge.
Traditional approach
Incohesive, opaque, unhedged.
- • Multiple disconnected agencies, banks and buyers around one small farmer.
- • Credit, insurance and inputs delivered as fragmented charity schemes.
- • Value captured downstream — farmer left with the lowest margin and the highest risk.
- • No traceability, no ESG, no climate accountability.
Agropolis landscape model
Inclusive. Transparent. Hedged. Value-focussed.
- • A single landscape contract aligns farmers, FPOs, banks, insurers, buyers and government.
- • 12 services delivered as one integrated stack — not 12 disconnected schemes.
- • Value engineered at the village edge: silage, CBG, bio-fertilizer, dairy, food.
- • Real-time digital traceability of product, money and ESG impact.

Securing the farmer is securing the nation.

The 12 landscape services — delivered as one stack.
Not 12 schemes from 12 agencies. One contract, one operating system, one accountable partner — Agropolis.
01
Bio-Fertilizers
Living-soil nutrition replacing generic subsidised fertilisers that have acidified Indian soils.
02
Pheromones — Insect Control
Targeted, non-toxic pest control replacing broad-spectrum pesticides genociding pollinators.
03
Credit
Hedged, landscape-backed farm credit through a banking + insurance consortium — not fragmented loans.
04
Ag Machinery
Shared mechanisation pools — small farmers access tractors, harvesters, planters without owning them.
05
Skilling — ASTC
Agri Services & Training Centres turning farmers and SHG youth into skilled landscape operators.
06
Biome — Probiotics
Microbial inoculants restoring soil biota, plant immunity and nutrient uptake — soil as a living system.
07
Contracts
Pre-arranged buy-back agreements — assured price, assured demand, bankable farmer income.
08
Health
One Health link — clean food, clean water, animal health and farmer family health together.
09
Insurance
Crop, livestock and weather cover bundled into the landscape contract — risk pooled, not borne alone.
10
Value Addition
Silage, CBG, bio-fertiliser, dairy and food processing — value engineered at the village edge, not in distant cities.
11
Storage
Cluster-level bunkers, cold chain and warehousing — farmers no longer forced to distress-sell at harvest.
12
Hedging
Price, weather and demand hedged across the landscape — protecting both farmer income and lender capital.
On the ground
Years of firsthand study with small farmers.
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and global know-how — village meetings, women-led SHGs, field walks and ASTC training that anchor every contract.
India Reimagined by FPOs
The only sustainable solution for India’s wellbeing.
FPOs are not external partners we plug in to extract value from. They are co-owners inside the project — holding equity in the landscape, sharing in the upside, and shaping the operating model. Anything less repeats the charity-and-exploitation cycle that has failed Indian agriculture for decades.
How FPOs empower small farmers — six interlocking levers from better prices and bulk inputs to value addition and training. Stronger together. Higher profits. Secure future.
10,000+ FPOs · ₹6,800 cr budget support · ₹453 cr credit guarantee · 30 lakh farmers connected · 40% women participation. The national canvas Agropolis is plugging into.
FPOs transforming Indian agriculture — recognised at the highest level as the operating layer for India's food future.
Field visit — energy-crop fields and farmer collectives at the centre of national policy attention.
FPO benefits in India — collective produce, financial inclusion and measurable growth for the smallest landholders.
Women-led SHGs running livestock and value-addition enterprises — the inclusive heart of the FPO redesign.
“Securing the farmer is securing the nation.” FPOs are not external elements we exploit — they are inside the project, co-owners of a regenerative, bankable, climate-positive rural India. India reimagined by FPOs is the only solution for India’s wellbeing.

Napier grass — soil to top.
Field photography from our cultivation clusters — full-height stands, drip irrigation, clump architecture, and feed-quality close-ups.
Soil-to-top rows
Mature Napier stand on drip irrigation — uniform 3–4 m canopy, mulched inter-rows, zero weed pressure.
Full-height plants
Multi-cut perennial — single planting yields 6–8 cuts per year for 4–5 years.
Feed-quality close-up
High protein, low crude fibre, ideal dry-matter — silage-grade leaf.
Clump architecture
Tillering clumps with deep root mass — restores organic carbon and prevents erosion.
Silage · Bunkers · Baling
From green chop to year-round nutrition.
Chopped Napier+Maize is ensiled in concrete bunkers, drive-over piles, and wrapped bales — anaerobic fermentation locks in protein and energy for both the biorefinery and dairy herds.
Industrial bunker complex
Multi-bay concrete bunker network — 25 km farm catchment feeds the 10 TPD biorefinery year-round.
Layered compaction
Tractor packs chopped forage in 15 cm layers — expels oxygen for clean lactic fermentation.
Drive-over pile
Continuous compaction over a wedge pile — proven low-capex method for cluster-scale ensiling.
Sealed clamp
Polythene cover weighted with tyres — anaerobic seal preserves nutrition for 9–12 months.
Wrapped round bales
Individually wrapped 500 kg bales — modular, transportable, ideal for FPO outgrower model.
Square bales
High-density square bales for efficient storage and truck-loading to off-take buyers.
Bagged silage logistics
Bagged silage dispatched to dairy farmers and CBG feedstock yards across the cluster.
Smallholder ensiling
Tarp-and-stone pit silos extend the model to 2-acre farmers — no capex, full nutrition retention.
Dairy uptake
Year-round silage rations lift milk yield by 10–25% versus dry-fodder baseline.
