India’s agrochemical sector is a thriving landscape, designed to promote improved farming. Where agrochemical manufacturers play a pivotal role in formulating chemicals that address specific challenges, behind the scenes, distributors, dealers, and business partners stand as the real enablers, boosting accessibility of products for farmers. Yet, inconsistent product quality, inadequate variety, and last mile delays challenge their growth, and by extension, that of the farmers. To address this particular challenge, the Indiana Group launched Acufine Life sciences in 2021.

A prominent innovator of high-quality, easy-to-handle agrochemical solutions, Acufine operates in B2B and P2P capacities with a strong partner network. Strengthening channel partners with a diversified product range along with a reliable supply chain, the firm empowers them as well as the farmers. Acufine is on a mission to simplify crop protection and accelerate and optimize the process, enabling businesses and farmers to grow with confidence.

Crop Protection Simplified

Guided by this philosophy across key functions: product innovation and business design, Acufine makes it possible by empowering not just the farmers, but the distributors, dealers, and partners as well. By creating a seamless, hiccup-free bridge from the factory to the fields, the company caters to India’s diverse agro-climatic zones effortlessly. Its formulations are carefully designed for the variety of climatic conditions, packaging easy for partners to carry, and quality and supply steady and competitively priced, along with training provisions that help partners better serve farmers.

Not just farmer-centric, but equally partner-centric, the company has developed a robust ecosystem that supports the idea of simplifying crop protection, eliminating confusions and inconsistencies. Acufine’s portfolio of over 100 products encompassing plant-growth regulators, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides are meticulously manufactured in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ludhiana. Stringently implemented quality controls assure performance and have elevated the company’s reputation and reliability, enabling it to serve regional dealers as well as leading companies.

“At Acufine, quality, safety, and innovation are at the heart of our operations. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing and field validation, promising uncompromising standards. To strengthen this foundation, we are establishing a technical plant which will expand our capacity and focus on in-house technical-grade manufacturing, advanced formulations, and sustainable production practices”, shares Rakesh Sood, Founder, Indiana Group & Acufine Lifesciences.
