Two decades into the 21st century, agriculture and farmers faced multiple challenges. The following case study presents a success model for all Indian stakeholders involved in the agriculture sector from growing food to processing food. The business model adopted by Sahyadri Farms worked to find solutions for the problems of small and marginal farmers and make farming into a profitable venture with development of agriculture and rural community. It not only linked farmers to international markets through export channels for remunerative returns but also provided innovative technologies like blockchain to ensure solutions for crop advisory, weather forecasting, etc. Sahyadri Farms were successful in establishing itself as India's biggest and most successful Farmer Producer Company. The Sahyadri's case explores the interventions in agriculture supply chain with technology and economies of scale (Farmer Producer Company). Though the company continues to expand, the trade-offs between expansion and vision remain a dilemma.
