Coromandel International Observed Farmer's Day as 'Stewardship Day'
According to the company, 'Stewardship Day' is a step toward the organization's mission of "enhancing farmer prosperity through quality farm solutions with long-term value for all stakeholders."
Coromandel's field teams held a number of farmer meetings across the country on Farmer's Day to educate farmers on pesticide safety, including how to use them, how to handle them, the harmful effects of careless use, how to read the labels on the packages, how much to use, how to use protective equipment when spraying, and more.
On December 23, 2022, their ten divisions successfully celebrated Stewardship Day. A total of 150 meetings were held across India, with over 10,000 farmers participating. The campaign for the Safe Use of Agrochemicals was led by regional teams in collaboration with Head Office teams. Events have also been covered by the media in a few countries.
The meetings were attended by Farmers, Agriculture Department Officers, and Pesticide Dealers. On Farmers' Day, this event was entirely dedicated to farmers, their safety, and their well-being (Kisan Diwas).
