Artison provides Bambusa Bambos (Katang) bamboo seedlings to the farmers. The seedlings are grown and nurtured for 2 years in our nurseries in Dewas and Khandawa. The day Artsion and the farmer shake hands, we sign a 40 year guaranteed buy-back contract. This gives stability to farmer families for generations. Further, expected gross income from the bamboo plantation is approximately 2.5-3 lakhs per acre. No ordinary crop can match this kind of monetary return and this goes a long way in alleviating farmer distress.

After the farmer plants the bamboo seedlings, we regularly visit and support our farmers. We provide advice regarding inputs to use appropriate irrigation and how to nurture the bamboo plant.

Artison itself cuts the bamboo pole and transports the raw bamboo to the factory. We come back every year after the bamboo plant has matured, as the beauty of bamboo is that a matured bamboo plant regrows fully every year.

Once Artison has manufactured the trademark PEBB board and furniture, we then go back to the farmer. We share 24% of our profits with farmers every year as a bonus.

Such close knit cooperation between Artison and farmer, over a decade, has cemented the relationship for generations.
