Imphal, May 23 2021:
Veg-in-a-Basket or ViB in short has delivered hundreds of bags of farm fresh vegetables reaching close to 2000 individuals in Imphal.
ViB incubated by MaolKeki Foundation (MKF) in 2019 after many farmers highlighted the challenges of lack of access to market, farmers not getting value for their hard labour and extremely volatile pricing with unreliable supply chains.
Rajina Potsangbam and Surjeet Luwangcha underwent a 21 day Agri Entrepreneurship training programme organised by Agri Entrepreneur Growth Foundation, a joint venture between Sygenta Foundation and Tata Trusts.
With support from Anaha Trust, facilitated by Sattva Media and Consulting Pvt Ltd enable ViB to expand its coverage to cover more trusted farmers in rural areas of Bishnupur district.
In time of second wave of COVID-19 which has posed a serious trouble for rural farmers due to closure of major markets, ViB has come out as major provider of service that connects the rural farmers to urban consumers.
ViB has also solved the problem faced by urban consumers not being able to go out to cater to their daily vegetable needs.
Customers can easily place their order through the web portal of ViB or through whatsapp or call on 08131818744 .
