Training Research
and Innovation Centre
The Vana Training Research and Innovation Centre (VTRIC) is a first-of-its-kind hub that supports and promotes the adoption of modern technology in agriculture. The VTRIC conducts research and development in six key areas – information technology, biotechnology, engineering, supply chain technology, finance and processing technology under one roof. It is also a skill development zone for smallholder farmers to learn smart farming techniques and business models. VTRIC, a partnership with the Government of Malaysia, will train 1000 agri-preneurs . Satellite centres are planned for launch in Kenya, India, Zambia and Ghana.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Hybrid Model
The Vana Hybrid Model has been designed with the SHF as the most important stakeholder. The Hybrid Model allows the farmer to choose between a partnership or registered model with varying benefits across both categories. These benefits range from input subsidies, profit share models, and access to the Vana services portfolio. Partner farmers get full benefits of the model.

Information Technology
Vana’s Information Technology platform (ITP) is one of the most comprehensive and feature-rich platforms for the agriculture industry. 20 high-level components servicing the end-to-end process in Vana’s ecosystem are rolled in 3 phases – Enable, Optimize and Enhance.
Multiple functionalities are enabled across the 3 phases. The platform is customized for control and use at different levels of the organizations – global, cluster and country HQ offices, Vana Centres, field supervisors and onsite farmer locations. The system is optimized to work with poor connectivity to account for real-world conditions prevalent across interior regions.

Innovation
Agriculture is one of the least digitized industries globally, and Vana believes that access to cutting-edge technology and innovation is the perfect means to enable SHF growth. Our various pilots have shown a substantial increase in profits and outcomes by the use of input and production technology. Our research and development focuses on broad based focus areas such as:
Agriculture Biotechnology
Farm management software, sensors and IoT
Farm robotics, mechanization and equipment
Bioenergy and biofuels
Novel farming systems
Supply chain technologies
Marketplace models
Innovative food sources

Growth Ecosystem
A robust partner ecosystem that works around the nucleus of the value chain – the smallholder farmer – is necessary to transform them into agri-preneurs. Vana’s partners play the dual role of providers and customers for the farmers. Our input partners provide timely and hassle-free material and machinery to farmers at the beginning of crop cycles. Output partners open up new and existing markets to increase farmer income and revenue streams. Service partners provide market-oriented agriculture advisory services to farmers and other stakeholders in the ecosystem to enhance the entire partner ecosystem.
