The Amiran Farmers’ Kit (AFK) consist of; Greenhouse (8×15 mini greenhouse tunnel); Drip irrigation system (suitable for 1/8th of an acre); Solid water tank (500L); Sprayer (16 litters Knapsack Sprayer); Gold medal seeds (2 varieties of seed for 1/8th of an acre); Fertilizers (required for one season); Nursery set ( A complete pack of nursery trays with inert materials for germination of seeds); Agrochemicals; Personal protective Equipment (PPE); Training (on usage of the kit); Certificate (issued at the end of training); Amiran farmers Kit insurance, CIC ( covers the hardware components of the AFK and the crop). Amiran Annual Agro support package (The Amiran farmers’ kit Agro-support package is a post sales service in exchange for an annual fee), Amiran’s expert agronomists will visit farmers at their plots on a monthly basis and consult, advise and address any agricultural issues that may need attention. In addition to the consultancy, during these visits, Amiran agronomists will also expose farmers to new technologies, growing techniques, products and markets available. This also gives Amiran the opportunity to stay connected to farmers and receive feedback on how they are progressing and the challenges the farmers are facing for collective action. Amiran agronomists work hand in hand with the Ministry of Agriculture, Private sectors, International Organizations, Markets (local and Exports) and other experts in the industry allowing Amiran to develop a better understanding of events in the farmers’ region and to advise accordingly.
