TAFE Launches JFarm Services App for Custom Hiring Tractors and Implements

Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited has announced the launch of 'JFarm Services App' - a mobile app-based aggregator platform which facilitates hiring of tractors and modern farm machinery for farmers in Rajasthan, at the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet (GRAM), Kota.

Available on Google Play Store, the JFarm Services App is free and will connect Custom Hiring Centres (CHC) operated by tractors and equipment owners directly to farmers who need farm mechanization services and solutions.

Facilitating a fair and transparent rental process while focusing on quality, dependability and timely delivery.

The JFarm Services App is a stellar example of the Digital India initiative, tailored to benefit the Indian agricultural landscape.

This service by TAFE will foster digital empowerment of Indian farmers while creating a breed of new rural entrepreneurs and significant job opportunities.

In November 2016, TAFE inaugurated 'JFarm Rajasthan', an advanced agri-research centre in Bhawanimandi in the Jhalawar district. As a next step, the launch of the JFarm Services App along with the identification of these physical CHC franchisees create a hub where farmers gain access to specialized equipment and JFarm Rajasthan's agri-extension services including modern farm practices, technical know-how, high-yielding crop varieties, crop protection, organic and sustainable farming, besides customized and specially designed training programmes by leading agri-scientists.

JFarm Services - the aggregator platform in its pilot phase has enrolled over 450 Custom Hiring Centres and suppliers and has connected them to over 25,000 farmers.
