Advisory & Consulting©
Frameworks • Budgets • Governance • Impact Metrics
National & State Programs
Who it’s for
Ministries, state PMUs, DFIs and large NGOs building multi-year agriculture programs.
What we deliver
- Program blueprint (pillars, phases, costings, BoQs)
- Governance model (PMU design, roles, approval workflows)
- Financing architecture (co-funding with DFIs/banks, grant/loan blends, incentives)
- Standard procurement pack (RFPs, specs, evaluation matrices)
- M&E spine (KPIs, baseline tools, MIS dashboard)
- Risk & safeguards plan (ESG, grievance, fraud controls)
How it works
1. Diagnose & Prioritize – agro-ecological zoning, market fit, state readiness.
2. Design – pillar budgets, capex/opex, training & extension model.
3. Finance & Partnerships – bank alignment, matching grants, outcome-based disbursement.
4. Pilot → Scale – rapid pilots with go/no-go metrics, then state roll-out.
Example outcomes
- Reduced procurement variance via standard BoQs
- Private capital crowded-in alongside public spend
- Jobs created and yield improvements tracked in a live MIS
Land Development • Irrigation • Crop Plans • SOPs
Farm Systems Design & Operations
Who it’s for
Commercial farms, estates, and cooperatives scaling to export-grade production.
What we deliver
- Site masterplan (blocks, roads, drainage, reservoirs, power)
- Irrigation engineering (pivot/drip sizing, headworks, fertigation)
- Crop rotation & calendars, inputs/ha budgets, mechanization plan
- Organogram, shift rosters, contractor playbook
- SOP suite (planting → harvest → field QA) and HSE protocols
- Startup checklist + first-90-days coaching
How it works
1)Assessment & Survey → 2) Engineering & Layout → 3) Ops Design (people, SOPs) → 4) Launch support and KPI dashboard.
Example outcomes
- Cost/ha reduced through mechanization & water scheduling
- Yield/ha uplift; moisture/contamination failures minimized
- Stable weekly output meeting buyer specs
Farm Software • Satellite Insights • Dashboards
Digital & Data
Who it’s for
Teams that want simple, reliable data for decisions—without heavy IT overhead.
What we deliver
- Tool selection (FMS, mobile forms, GIS mapping) and low-cost stack design
- Field mapping, satellite vegetation indices, weather layering
- KPI framework (yield, cost/ha, labor productivity, QA hits)
- Dashboards (Google/BI) and mobile workflows (work orders, input logs)
- Data governance (roles, audit trail, backups) and user training
How it works
1)Process mapping → 2) Configure tools → 3) Migrate minimal data → 4) Train & coach → 5) Adoption audit.
Example outcomes
- Work orders closed on time; data latency cut from weeks to days/hours
- Operator adoption >80% with simple mobile forms
- Single source of truth across fields, stores, and QA.
Solar Dryers • Packhouse & Cold Chain • QA & Traceability
Post-Harvest & Processing
Who it’s for
Producers/processors targeting premium domestic and export markets.
What we deliver
- Facility layouts (clean/dirty zoning, people & product flows)
- Solar drying greenhouse specs, airflow & moisture-curve targets
- Cold-chain plan (pre-cool, storage, temperature logging)
- HACCP/ISO-aligned SOPs, QA manual, sampling plans
- Lot coding, recall procedure, and traceability registers
- Packaging specs, SKUs, and costed BoMs
How it works
1)Baseline audit → 2) Layout & equipment spec → 3) SOPs & training → 4) Trial runs with moisture/QA gates → 5) Handover & maintenance plan.
Example outcomes
- Post-harvest losses cut; rejection rates below target
- Consistent moisture and microbial compliance
-Faster pack-to-dispatch with documented chain of custody
Standards • Certifications • Buyer Engagement • Contracts
Export & Compliance
Who it’s for
Farms and aggregators moving from domestic sales to repeatable UK/EU exports.
.
What we deliver
- Standards roadmap (MRLs, GlobalG.A.P./Organic as needed; BRCGS for packhouse)
- Documentation kit (Phytosanitary, COO, EUR.1 where applicable, CoA)
- Buyer pipeline (mapping, outreach scripts, SLAs, quality addenda)
- Commercial pack (Incoterms, pricing bands, payment security, insurance, FX)
- Logistics playbook (forwarders, shipping lanes, demurrage controls, contingencies)
- Mock audits and staff training
.
.
How it works
1)Gap analysis → 2) Compliance plan & SOPs → 3) Buyer onboarding → 4) First shipments with live checklists → 5) Review & scale.
Example outcomes
- First shipments cleared with minimal queries
- Price uplift vs bulk domestic; days-to-cash shortened
- Multi-buyer order book with repeat contracts
Specs • Vendor RFPs • TCO • Maintenance & SLAs
Procurement & Equipment
Who it’s for
Organizations buying tractors, pivots, solar systems, dryers, packhouse lines, etc.
What we deliver
- Performance-based specs and BoQs (not brand-led)
- RFP & bid process, apples-to-apples evaluation matrix
- TCO model (capex + spares + energy + uptime)
- Negotiation support (warranties, SLAs, training, spares kits)
- FAT/SAT protocols, acceptance certificates, commissioning plan
- Preventive maintenance program & parts inventory lists
How it works
1)Needs & duty-cycle study → 2) Spec & RFP → 3) Bid evaluation & negotiation → 4) Delivery, FAT/SAT, commissioning → 5) PM schedules and handover.
Example outcomes
- 10–20% capex saved or redirected to higher-ROI options
- Uptime gains via better SLAs and spares planning
- Clear ownership of maintenance with digital service logs
