Our Pillars
What makes AGHMPCS an authentic initiative?
Individualised Support
The Co-operative supplies our affiliated primary co-operatives with inputs according to their needs as individual shareholders as well as their needs as a co-operative society. Training and capacity building play a big role as part of this objective.
Promoting Women Empowerment
Ensuring long-term sustainability of the organisation depends largely on our women workforce. Therefore capacity building and generating employment opportunities for women is an integral part of our agenda.
Value Addition to Products
We aim to improve the marketability of our products by facilitating branding and packaging of our agriculture produce to best suit a wider market base.
Prioritising Sustainability
An important aspect of the co-operative is to highlight and promote sustainability among the tribal communities, including health and well-being, quality education, development of skills.
Enabling Physical Infrastructure
We have facilitated physical infrastructure for affiliated primary co-operative societies in to ensure there is a space to conduct activities such as processing, manufacturing and packaging produce.
Overall, our objectives aim to bring about systemic improvement in the lives of Garo Hill farmers, while prioritising entrepreneurial promotion as a means to achieve that goal. Join us in our movement of liberating farmers from traditional market routes, and providing them with opportunities to sell their products on a national scale.
