FARMERS KIT

 

The Amiran(Balton) Farmer’s Kit (AFK) was created with the aim of allowing small scale farmers affordable access to modern agricultural technologies, methods and inputs of the highest standard. Designed by Balton Group , the AFK is a tailor made Kit designed to meet the needs of the specific farmer or group of farmers by adapting the components of the Kit to suit the climate, terrain, and agricultural experience of the farmer.
The AFK incorporates innovative agricultural technologies including the Family Drip System (FDS), an easy to use gravity based drip irrigation system, a Farmer’s Greenhouse and top quality agro-inputs such as Seeds, Fertilizers and Agro-Chemicals. The AFK comes complete with installation, training and an agro-support package that would allow us to teach the  Farmer  how to grow and to ensure the best results. The AFKs are custom made by Balton Group for individuals and specific groups of farmers and include all the necessary ingredients required for one season’s successful harvest of a selected crop.

Annual Agro Support Package: The  AFK Agro-support package is a post sales service. In exchange for an annual fee, Amiran’s expert agronomists will visit AFK farmers at their plots on a monthly basis and consult, advise and address any agricultural issues that may need attention.
In addition to the consultancy, during these visits Balton’s Agronomists will also expose the farmers to new technologies, growing techniques, products and Markets available.
This also gives Balton the opportunity to stay connected to the farmers and to receive feedback on how they are progressing and the challenges the farmers are facing for collective action.
Balton Agronomists work hand in hand with the Ministry of Agriculture, Private sectors, International Organizations, Markets (Local and Exports) and other experts in the Industry allowing Balton to develop a better understanding of events in the farmer’s region and to advise accordingly.
