PAPL Signs MoU with NCOL at BioFach India 2025 to Boost Farmer Market Access
04 September 2025, New Delhi: PAPL, a for-profit social enterprise based in Bhopal, presented its organic and regenerative farming model at the 17th edition of BioFach India, held from August 30 to September 1 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The trade fair is one of the country’s leading platforms for organic, natural, and millet-based products.
A significant development for PAPL at the event was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NCOL, a multi-state cooperative society established by the Ministry of Cooperation, Government of India. The agreement, signed on August 30, 2025, was formalised by PAPL Managing Director Ashis Mondal and NCOL representative Vipul Mittal.
Through the MoU, PAPL will extend technical guidance, capacity building, business development, quality assurance, and compliance support. It will also work with Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) to enhance visibility, facilitate participation in trade fairs, and build forward market linkages aimed at reducing price and market risks.
NCOL will provide institutional support by strengthening branding, expanding market access, and integrating farmer collectives into national supply chains.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ashis Mondal said the partnership marks a milestone in India’s organic movement. “Farmers need more than just markets. They need guidance, systems, and trust. By joining hands with NCOL, we can bring those elements together and ensure that smallholder farmers benefit from fair, transparent, and sustainable supply chains.”
An NCOL representative added, “Our vision is to make organic farming accessible and viable across India. Partnering with PAPL combines grassroots experience with national-level networks, bridging the gap between producers and consumers while ensuring fair returns for farmers.”
