Sarveshwar Foods pioneers Sustainable Agriculture with groundbreaking Soil Mapping Initiative to empower Farmers through Soil Health Card

Sarveshwar Foods Limited, an emerging player in the FMCG sector and a trusted name for its premium basmati rice from the foothills of the Himalayas, is revolutionizing India's agricultural landscape with a strong focus on soil health. The company is leading a transformative shift toward sustainable farming practices through its soil mapping initiative, empowering farmers, improving productivity, and strengthening its supply chain for the future.

With over 130 years of legacy, Sarveshwar Foods has always been committed to serving healthy, high-quality rice. In recent years, the company has expanded its heritage into premium FMCG and organic product categories, further underscoring its dedication to sustainability and quality. Originating from the foothills of the Himalayas, where fertile, mineral-rich soil, organic manure, and the snowmelt waters of the Chenab River nourish the land, Sarveshwar Foods produces a complete range of organic products-without relying on artificial fertilizers or chemicals. These products, marketed under the brand name 'NIMBARK', promote the philosophy of a 'SATVIK' conscious lifestyle, blending wellness with sustainability.

Central to Sarveshwar Foods' sustainability efforts is its innovative soil mapping program. This initiative forms the backbone of the company's strategy to improve soil health and maximize crop yields. By offering location-specific soil assessments for all its partner farmers, Sarveshwar ensures precise, scientific recommendations for fertilizer use and irrigation practices, reducing the risk of overuse of harmful chemicals and improving soil quality.

In the past few months, hundreds of soil health cards have been issued, covering nearly 1,000 acres of basmati-growing areas in key farming regions such as R.S. Pura, Palanwalla, Pargawal, and Bishnah. These cards provide farmers with customized guidance to enhance soil fertility, reduce input costs, and increase productivity. The soil mapping program ensures that farmers receive the right nutrients at the right time, improving Fertilizer Use Efficiency (FUE) and protecting long-term soil health.

Sarveshwar Foods is also promoting organic basmati production, encouraging farmers to adopt organic inputs, which not only enhance rice quality but also enable farmers to command higher prices for their crops. The company's soil mapping efforts play a crucial role in making organic farming more accessible and sustainable for its partner farmers.

Further advancing its commitment to sustainable agriculture, Sarveshwar Foods is diversifying crops by introducing turmeric, garlic, and ginger as part of a broader strategy to establish agricultural cooperatives. Through these cooperatives, farmers are ensured access to essential resources and fair prices, thereby improving their economic resilience.

As demand for food grains grows alongside India's increasing population, Sarveshwar Foods acknowledges the critical importance of maintaining soil health. The company's efforts in soil testing and soil mapping are essential tools in enhancing crop productivity, ensuring that Indian farmers can meet the future food security needs of the country while safeguarding soil fertility for future generations.
