Godrej Agrovet Limited’s Oil Palm Business has inaugurated its first Samadhan center for oil palm farmers in Bukvannei, Kolasib district, signaling a major push to modernize the state’s palm oil sector. Samadhan, a one-stop solution (OSS) center, provides farmers with end-to-end support—from seed to harvest—offering access to advanced tools, advisory services, and productivity-enhancing solutions.
The launch was attended by Joseph Lalnuntluanga, District Agriculture Officer, Kolasib; Lianthanzauva, Assistant Director of Agriculture; and Sougata Niyogi, CEO – Oil Palm Business, Godrej Agrovet. Mizoram, under the National Mission on Edible Oil – Oil Palm (NMEO-OP), has a cultivation potential of 60,000–70,000 hectares. The center will guide farmers on balanced fertilizer application, soil testing, irrigation solutions including drip systems, and overall farm management to address seasonal water challenges. Sougata Niyogi emphasized, “Samadhan reinforces our commitment to sustainable development and empowers farmers with access to government schemes, developmental finance, and modern agricultural technologies.” Each center targets support for around 2,000 hectares of oil palm cultivation, ensuring sustained productivity in mature gardens.
The Samadhan center is expected to boost demand for quality oil palm seedlings and related inputs. Local farmers now gain easier access to expert guidance, modern technologies, and financial assistance, fostering wider adoption of oil palm cultivation and strengthening the regional agribusiness ecosystem.
