The e-Com Farmers of India

Farmers, too, reap the rewards of e-comm

Girish Kuber
MUMBAI 20 FEBRUARY

IF YOU thought cyberspace could only be accessed by netizens in the metros, try visiting towns like Warana and Baramati in rural Maharashtra. For networking, e-commerce are buzz words in these dusty villages too.

A silent revolution in information technology is rapidly sweeping across the agro rich areas of Maharashtra. In Warana, in Kolhapur district, some 70 villages have been wired, not just to each other, but to the entire world.

Due to this, co-operative dairies in these areas have already started selling their products on-line. Several milk collection centres have been converted into cyber-cafes. Farmers don't go to sugar factories anymore and the Warana Group has already opened an office in Europe for direct marketing of Warana products.
