Farmer Training

To create awareness, improve the skills and to encourage experience learning, Parry organizes Farmer's Training programs through out the year. These programs are organized in such a way that the farmers get an opportunity to know the existing and emerging technologies in sugarcane farming. Further the interactive sessions provide them an opportunity to learn from other farmers on their experience of sugarcane farming. Exposure to laboratory and field trials improve the confidence level and enhance acceptability and adaptation of modern technologies

To enable the farmers to take advantage of these training programs without affecting their day-to-day routines, the Farmer Training team organize these training programs at village levels. 

Specialized training are offered to low yielding farmers to enhance their yield and catch up with other farmers in their command area.

Realizing the importance of women in Indian agriculture, unique training programes are organized to cater to their requirements of farming.

Three-day training programs are organized at the R&D centre enabling farmers to directly interact with every Scientist, Executives and Managers of the company in addition to their technical learning. The various cultural activities performed by the farmers provides life and energy for this program.

These programs also provide opportunities of learning and enrichment for the Scientist as well as the Managers from the farmer's experiences.
