Star Agriwarehousing & Collateral Management Ltd

StarAgri is one of Asia's leading integrated post-harvest management services companies. We offer solutions in warehousing, procurement and collateral management of agri commodities. We work with farmers, FPO's and agri-communities to help them solve some of their most pressing challenges like post-harvest loss, access to bank finances and poor links to markets. We do this by forging sustainable partnerships between farming communities and their customers - agri-procurers. This helps create a more efficient market, translates into better crop price realization for farmers, and lower intermediary cost for buyers. With a network of 100,000+ farmers and 800+ warehouses across 16 states, 1.5 million+ tons of warehousing capacity and Rs. 75 billion worth of commodities stored across 200 collateral management locations; we aim to become a strategic link in the global agri commodities supply chain. In addition to addressing farmers' challenges, our integrated solutions create value for all stakeholders – banks and financial institutions, agri-processors, and commodity exchanges. We also offer a wide array of value-added services that include risk management, retailing, and logistics, to name a few. StarAgri has received funding support from Temasek Holdings and IDFC Private Equity.
