Introduction:
Kirshak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO),
a Multi State Cooperative Society was incorporated on April 17, 1980. KRIBHCO
was incorporated to manufacture and distribute fertilizers and allied farm inputs
through cooperative and institutional channels. KRIBHCO has fully imbibed the
cooperative philosophy and has made sustained efforts towards promoting the
cause of modern agriculture and cooperatives in the country.
KRIBHCO continues to provide useful services to the farmers by carrying out
a number of promotional, educational, cooperative and rural development activities
to uplift socio-economic status of the farmers. The major activities include
technology transfer, cooperative and rural development programmes and input
services to small farmers at one place.
Products offered by KRIBHCO are:
- Urea
- Seeds
- Bio-fertilizers
- Services
The project undertaken at KRIBHCO was to “Study the buying behavior
of farmers for KRIBHCO Urea viz-a-viz other brands in the market”.
The project basically deals with which is the preferred brand of urea among
farmers and what features do they look into while purchasing urea. The project
required extensive field survey and the area covered were District Jhajjar and
District Sirsa in Haryana, District Nawasehar and District Ropar, and Najafgarh
in Delhi.
The survey revealed that availability of Urea Brand is the most important factor
in the purchase of Urea followed by Quality, Packaging and information Lead.
Kissan is the most readily available urea in Haryana & Punjab. Brand recall
of Kissan and Uttamvir urea is the maximum whereas KRIBHCO has less brand recall.
The project required extensive field survey and it took me to various places
as the target segment was not in Delhi but in the agriculture rich states like
Haryana and Punjab. Language was one of the problems with the farmers as there
was difficulty in understanding things. It was a pleasure to work KRIBHCO and
was great learning experience.
