About Item
Crop Residue Collection & Aggregation Service provides structured field-level collection, bundling, and centralized aggregation of post-harvest crop residues such as paddy straw, wheat straw, maize stalks, and sugarcane trash to prevent open burning and enable value-added utilization.
Overview
After harvest, large quantities of crop residues remain in agricultural fields. Without proper management systems, farmers often resort to open-field burning to clear land quickly for the next sowing cycle. This practice leads to air pollution, soil degradation, nutrient loss, and environmental damage.
Crop Residue Collection & Aggregation Service offers an organized alternative by systematically collecting and consolidating agricultural residues from farm fields and transporting them to aggregation centers for further processing or commercial use.
The service supports farmers, FPOs, biomass processors, and agri enterprises in converting waste into economic opportunity while promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
Field-Level Collection Operations
Efficient residue management begins at the farm level.
