IFFCO Managing Director K J Patel on Thursday said the fertiliser cooperative is exploring closer cooperation with Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) to strengthen agricultural supply chains and improve delivery of inputs to farmers.
Patel made the remarks after welcoming CONCOR Chairman and Managing Director Ajit Kumar Panda at IFFCO Sadan, New Delhi, where the two sides held discussions on potential areas of collaboration.
He said CONCOR’s multimodal and rail-based container logistics network could help make movement of fertilisers and agricultural inputs faster, greener and more reliable. Efficient logistics would ensure timely availability of farm inputs while reducing the carbon footprint associated with bulk transportation, Patel noted.
Congratulating Panda on taking charge, Patel said IFFCO looks forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with CONCOR in the service of farmers and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
