Comparative Analysis

Crop production levels

Crop production levels

The majority of our farmers fall into the first category, which is resource-dependent. They lack the necessary knowledge and resources to effectively apply practices in their farming methods.

A small portion of farmers belong to the second category, who rely heavily on the advice given by sales representatives from input supply companies. These farmers tend to use excessive amounts of inputs, resulting in higher production costs and lower quality output.

There are a few farmers who practice what is commonly referred to as organic farming, but in reality, it often resembles another version of industrial agriculture. To gain the benefits associated with this category, expensive certifications are required, and there is a lack of support and facilitation for these farmers.

Professional companies and large-scale farmers, although not as prevalent in Pakistan, belong to the fourth category. They optimize the use of inputs by accurately calculating deficiencies and applying them accordingly. This is the approach we aim to educate our farmers on during the transitional period when they decide to shift from conventional/industrial cropping systems to MaximAgro.

The fifth level of farming is based on the natural algorithm of soil fertility and vegetation. Crop production using this process requires minimal purchased inputs, except for seeds, a small amount of water, and labor or machinery for planting and harvesting. The quality of produce from this category is unparalleled, offering nutrient-dense food unlike the broiler-like food that we are often compelled to consume.
