(ARL), a company focusing on climate-resilient, zero-pesticide, high-yield farming infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership with , a leading agri-value chain enabler. The partnership, through bundled trade and financing solutions, aims to scale ARL’s indigenous aeroponic systems and integrate them into Samunnati’s agri-finance and agri-commerce ecosystem—unlocking greater value for commercial growers and agri-enterprises across India. This partnership has been facilitated with the support of ARL’s Advisor Stay Still Scale High, an advisory firm for raising growth capital for startups and SMEs.
ARL’s proprietary Indigenous aeroponic systems have achieved global yield standards of 240–360 tons per acre per year for Indian leafy vegetables—at a fraction of the setup cost of global Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) solutions. With 95% less water usage, 98% land savings, and a lower carbon footprint, ARL is contributing to the development of sustainable agriculture in India by making zero-pesticide produce accessible at prices comparable to traditional vegetables.
