Empowering Smallholder Farmers in India – Shubh Samriddhi Project in India

Mint Farmer in India

I4DI is thrilled to announce our new collaborative venture with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as an expansion of our partnership with Mars Inc. on the Farmer Income Lab. This project will help impoverished smallholder households reach a livable income through alignment between government priorities and private-sector interests to serve smallholder farmers and agribusiness SMEs in a gender equitable way.
Through this initiative, I4DI will provide focused MLE support to the Shubh Mint project in Uttar Pradesh, India. This initiative is a pivotal step towards transforming procurement practices and integrating smallholder farmers into inclusive and economically viable supply chains, marking a significant leap towards equity for the region’s agricultural community.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season
and a prosperous New Year 2026.
