1. Value Addition for Export-Ready Products

African countries are rich in raw agricultural produce like palm oil, cashews, soyabean, ginger, wood, cotton etc. Arise IIP Industrial zones in Africa support Indian firms to establish processing units to convert these into export-ready products, boosting local economies and reducing export dependency on raw materials.

2. Reducing Post-Harvest Losses

Arise IIP follows responsible supply chain management to manage the associated risks and opportunities. By adopting circular economy principles, Arise IIP aims to reduce waste and manage resources sustainably. We not only provide guidance and assistance in reducing waste by our waste management initiatives and commodity life cycle assessment, but also incentivise industries promoting circularity.

3. Technology Sharing and Skill Development

Arise IIP provides cutting-edge agro-processing traceability technology in the form of Arise Farmer Information System (AFIS) that tracks number of farmers registered, farm land area, crop area and several other critical information for smoother farming operations. We also take skill-building initiatives to empower local communities and ensure sustainable operations. We have introduced training centers in key Africa locations for skill development for industrial agro-processing specialised jobs.

4. Strengthening Supply Chains

With fragmented supply chains being a common issue, Indian companies can implement digital solutions for logistics, traceability, and streamlined distribution networks. Our traceability partners Rainforest Alliance (cashew), Tracer (wood), and Fibretrace (textile) ensure that Indian companies setup in our industrial zones can significantly minimize waste, ensuring better returns for African farmers and their own businesses.
