of fruits and vegetables like papaya, carrot, mango and lime by its members
under the Contract Farming Scheme of the company. The company accepted our
proposal and assured to support the AUX initiatives by providing seeds and
technical guidance.
However, the extent of procurement on commitment on behalf of Sanghavi will be
subject to the quantity required by the factory for different fruits and

farming-related works, but not limited to irrigation at proper time, use of
appropriate fertilizers, pesticides etc. Sanghavi will take fruits and
