[INDIA, 10 March 2026]: FarMart, India’s leading AI-native agriFood and energy value chain platform, today released its 2025 Impact Report, outlining measurable environmental, economic, and governance outcomes across India’s agriFood and energy value chains. The report maps how operational innovation across sourcing, logistics, and commerce is helping reduce food loss, strengthen farmer incomes, and improve transparency.

Operating across 40+ agricultural products and engaging over 4,87,619 farmers, FarMart’s technology-led supply chain redesign avoided 23,567 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, prevented 18,305 metric tons of post-harvest food loss in 2025, enabled fresh water savings of 5.39 billion litres by improving movement efficiency and reducing embedded waste across agricultural sourcing, with over INR 23.4 billion aggregate payments earned by 4.8 lac farmers through FarMart during the year, strengthening income predictability and reducing reliance on fragmented mandi systems.

Speaking on the report, Alekh Sanghera, Co-founder & CEO, said: “India’s food system doesn’t break at the farm, it breaks in coordination. Small inefficiencies across aggregation, logistics, storage, and payment cycles compound into food loss, emissions, and income volatility. Our focus has been to redesign that middle layer using technology, data, and disciplined execution. The emissions avoided and food loss prevented this year are not parallel sustainability initiatives - they are operational outcomes of building a more efficient system. As we scale, our responsibility increases. This report reflects our commitment to measuring impact where it truly happens, inside daily transactions.”

Mehtab Singh Hans, Co-founder, added: “For us, impact cannot sit outside the business model. When INR 23.4 billion moves directly to farmers through predictable digital workflows, when nearly five lakh farmers are integrated into transparent transaction systems, and when traceability improves food safety - that is structural change. The five pillars outlined in this report: Carbon, Community, Consumer, Capability, and Credibility, are embedded into how we operate. They guide capital allocation, technology deployment, and partner selection. If supply chains are going to be resilient in the coming decade, accountability and efficiency will have to scale together.”

Tannya Garg, Head of Impact & ESG, said: “Credible impact demands rigorous measurement, operational integration, and the willingness to confront hard data, especially in upstream agricultural systems where real change must happen. Our first in-house carbon accounting revealed that 99.99% of our emissions are upstream in agriculture. That clarity allows us to focus where real-world reductions matter. We are investing in stronger data systems so that impact measurement moves from estimation to precision over time.”

The report also details strengthened labour safeguards, real-time logistics monitoring, digital purchase order consent systems, and AI-led anomaly detection - embedding credibility into everyday commerce. As India advances toward climate and food security goals, FarMart’s integrated model demonstrates how technology-enabled coordination can drive measurable impact within complex agricultural systems.

Testament to FarMart’s impact is Yogesh Suresh Sawai, a Village-Level Entrepreneur (VLE) based in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. He began his agri output business in 2022, managing 10-12 vehicle loads monthly. Despite strong farmer relationships, growth was hampered by working capital shortages, delayed buyer payments, price uncertainties - limiting his ability to scale volumes, especially during peak harvest periods. After joining FarMart in 2023, and with better pricing and reduced pressure, he committed to larger volumes and streamlined logistics. As a result, his monthly vehicle movement rose from 10-12 to 30+ with farmer reach expanded from 200 to over 2,000 enabled by reduced dependence on informal credit, improved planning. He shares, “As my business has grown through FarMart, I have been able to scale operations, work with many more farmers, and run my business with greater stability. This growth has also helped me provide better for my family and invest in my son’s education, giving me the confidence to plan for the future.”
