Abstract
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation (NERAMAC) and Precision Grow is a milestone towards revolutionizing agriculture in India’s North Eastern region. Centered on the Act East Policy and the vision of inclusive growth and rural prosperity of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the partnership aims to empower farmers through innovation, technology, and trust. Precision Grow lends precision farming, climate-resilient agriculture, and digital market connections, while NERAMAC provides its experience built up over three decades in procurement, processing, and marketing. Combined, the collaboration resolves some of the long-standing challenges of the region like poor market connectivity, inefficient post-harvest management, and low exposure to modern methods. Some of the most important outcomes are enhanced productivity, equitable trade practices, sustainable organic agriculture, skill development, and improved export prospects. Starting with pilot projects in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura, the program plans to expand across the region, placing the North East in the vanguard of farmer-led, technology-enabled, and globally networked agriculture development.
Guwahati, 16 September 2025: In a landmark move to transform agriculture in the North Eastern region, the North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation (NERAMAC) and Precision Grow have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The collaboration seeks to empower farmers with innovation, technology, and trust reflecting the spirit of the Act East Policy and aligning with the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of inclusive growth, rural prosperity, and sustainable development.
A Purpose-Based Partnership
The MoU collaborates NERAMAC, a Government of India undertaking under the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), and Precision Grow, a fast-growing Agri-tech solutions company. The partnership is to merge cutting-edge technologies, enhance value chains, and increase credible market access for farmers in all eight North Eastern states.
The region, endowed with productive lands, high biodiversity, and great potential for organic agriculture, has been known for a long time as an agricultural hub. Yet, factors like poor market linkage, poor post-harvest handling, and inadequate access to advanced technology have slowed it down. This collaboration confronts the aforementioned factors head-on, filling the gap between farmers’ labor and the actual worth of their products.
Innovation at the Core
Precision Grow will make precision farming, data-driven crop management, and climate-smart agriculture accessible to farmers. Farmers will be made more effective in boosting productivity and fighting climate change through the assistance of weather and soil analytics, intelligent irrigation, and enhanced diversification of crops.
Digital platforms will also be in the game linking farmers to buyers directly, reducing dependency on intermediaries, and guaranteeing fair trade practices. Leaning on its decades-old network in procurement, processing, and marketing, NERAMAC will complement these innovations with strong market linkages within India and overseas.
Hand in hand, the two organizations see building a solid ecosystem where technology and institutional trust are interlinked.
Trust as the Foundation
Whereas technology fuels innovation, trust becomes the core to adoption. For over four decades, NERAMAC has been a trusted partner to farmers through equitable procurement and timely remuneration. Precision Grow now enters this established framework with the same dedication—making innovation accessible, reliable, and farmer-centric.
The MoU guarantees transparent pricing, timely payments, and dependable farmer assistance. In addition to giving advanced training, the initiative focuses on risk minimization and livelihood safeguarding, making the initiative a people-oriented social agreement.
With the National Vision
The partnership reflects the spirit of the Act East Policy, which emphasizes connectivity, cooperation, and regional integration. Through the rejuvenation of the agricultural economy, the project aims to make the North East a major organic and high-value produce hub both domestically as well as in Southeast Asia.
It also aligns with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s philosophy of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas”, underscoring that the empowerment of farmers is part of rural prosperity and the region becoming a growth engine in India’s development process.
Major Farmer-Focused Outcomes
- Increased productivity using contemporary farming and optimized resource utilization.
- Improved incomes through ethical trade practices and premium access to markets.
- Sustainability by the encouragement of organic and environmentally friendly farming practices.
- Development of skills through training programs, workshops, and exposure visits.
- Export preparedness by connecting farmers with national and international buyers.
Voices from the Cooperation
NERAMAC officials greeted the MoU as a revolutionary move:
“This tie-up is a milestone in our effort to empower the North East farmers. It will help them dream higher, earn more, and contribute meaningfully to the country’s growth narrative.”
Precision Grow shared this vision
We believe in marrying technology with compassion. Our solutions are conceived to deliver profitability, sustainability, and future-readiness to all farmers that we engage with.”
Looking Ahead
The partnership will start with pilot initiatives in Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura, and slowly scale up across the North East. Constant tracking and feedback from farmers will assist in shaping strategies so that results remain pragmatic and accessible.
In the long run, the plan hopes to make the North East a model for the world for farmer-led agricultural development where tradition harmonizes with innovation, and trust becomes the key to prosperity.
