Our successful efforts in India to date have verified that the MINI-MAX™ can bring a paradigm shift to farming in India with its unique stubble management and true zero-till one-pass precision multi-crop seeding and fertilizer application capabilities. Alterations to the current practices such as stubble burning and poor residue management continue to be a priority for India and demand for SMART Seeder™ technology is gaining traction in India with support from Government officials, farmer co-ops, customers and manufacturers.

Thank you to the Canadian Consulate General’s Office in Chandigarh and the Saskatchewan Trade and Investment Office in New Delhi for your continued support as we completed our program.
