Farmer Connect Continues in Himmatnagar with Strong Response to Agronomy & Potato Bazaar

Himmatnagar | 19 September 2026

Following the successful farmer engagement programme held in Gandhinagar earlier this week, Mantra Agri Solutions continued its farmer outreach with another interactive programme at Himmatnagar, bringing together around 50 potato farmers from the region.

The programme focused on practical agronomy, better crop management, digital connectivity and upcoming opportunities in contract farming. The smaller gathering also enabled closer interaction with farmers, resulting in an enthusiastic exchange of experiences and questions.

Practical Agronomy for the Upcoming Potato Season

The agronomy session focused on helping farmers make better decisions across the potato crop cycle — from pre-planting and soil preparation to nutrition, plant protection, crop monitoring and harvesting.

Farmers actively discussed field-level challenges and sought practical guidance on improving crop quality, yield and overall productivity.

Potato Bazaar: Farmers Share Their Own Experience

A highlight of the Himmatnagar programme was the response to Potato Bazaar.

Interestingly, several farmers attending the programme had already downloaded the Potato Bazaar app. During the interaction, farmers came forward on stage and shared their own experiences and the benefits they saw in having potato-related information and services available through a single digital platform.

These farmer testimonials added a strong peer-to-peer dimension to the session, with farmers themselves explaining the relevance of digital tools to others in the gathering.

The Potato Bazaar team also interacted with participants and demonstrated key features of the platform, including mandi prices, Buy & Sell and other potato ecosystem services.

Continuing the Farmer Connect

The Himmatnagar programme forms part of a broader initiative by Mantra Agri Solutions, Potato Intel and Potato Bazaar to engage more closely with potato farmers and combine scientific agronomy, digital access and stronger market linkages.

The positive response at both Gandhinagar and Himmatnagar highlights the growing interest among farmers in practical knowledge and digital tools that can support better decisions — from the field to the market.
