ESG Framework

Environmental, Social & Governance

๐ŸŒ

Environmental

  • 6 MW Solar Power โ€” Eco-friendly energy infrastructure reducing grid dependence and carbon footprint across the entire 6,000-acre project.
  • Smart Drip Irrigation โ€” Reduces water usage by 60% vs conventional farming through AI-driven fertigation and direct root-zone delivery.
  • 300-Acre Water Pond โ€” 370 crore litre storage capacity for rainwater harvesting and irrigation security, reducing borewell over-dependence.
  • Zero Synthetic Pesticides โ€” Organic-first farming with bio-control inputs and natural crop protection. FSSAI and Organic India certified approach.
  • Protected Cultivation โ€” Polyhouse farming reduces chemical inputs, waste, and land degradation compared to open-field farming.
  • Planned Replacement Cycles โ€” Scheduled infrastructure renewal prevents waste accumulation and maintains long-term environmental quality of the site.
๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Social

  • 500+ Skilled Workforce โ€” Direct employment across cultivation, nursery, irrigation, harvesting, packhouse, and administration โ€” all based in rural Andhra Pradesh.
  • Labour Residency โ€” On-site worker housing with dining, sanitation, drinking water, rest areas, first-aid room โ€” ensuring worker welfare and year-round availability.
  • Skill Development โ€” Training in modern polyhouse farming, precision irrigation, nursery propagation, post-harvest handling, and cold chain logistics builds long-term agricultural skills.
  • Rural Development โ€” Large-scale investment in rural land creates infrastructure (roads, electricity, water systems) that benefits surrounding communities.
  • Local Procurement โ€” Vendor allocation to 25 execution companies with preference for regional partners supports local business and supply chains.
  • Import Substitution โ€” Domestic blueberry production reduces India's dependence on imported premium berries, supporting food sovereignty.
โš–๏ธ

Governance

  • 51:49 Transparent Structure โ€” Clear equity framework with investor rights formalised through shareholders' agreement, board resolutions, and investment agreements.
  • Periodic Investor Reporting โ€” Structured reports on project progress, fund utilisation, plantation status, production, and financial performance.
  • Compliance Framework โ€” APEDA export approvals, FSSAI licensing, GlobalG.A.P., ISO 22000, land compliance, labour compliance, borewell permissions, and environmental approvals.
  • Independent Audit โ€” Financial statements prepared for investor audit visibility. Board approval required for major capital decisions.
  • Insurance Coverage โ€” First-year project and crop risk insurance (โ‚น15 Crore) with annual renewal (โ‚น20 Crore/year) protecting assets and investors.
  • Exit Mechanism โ€” Defined investor exit options in the legal framework per shareholders' agreement and company law provisions.
Water Security

Water Conservation & Irrigation System

Water security is a foundational strategic pillar of the project. Blueberry cultivation under controlled polyhouse conditions requires precise, reliable, and continuous irrigation. PrimeBerry has designed a multi-layer water infrastructure that eliminates dependence on a single water source.

The 300-acre central water pond stores approximately 370 crore litres (37 lakh cubic metres) of water โ€” providing a major buffer during dry periods and peak demand. Combined with 1,000 borewells across the 6,000-acre project area and smart drip irrigation, the system delivers water and nutrients directly to each of the 1.50 crore blueberry plants.

  • Pond water + borewell water combined via main distribution network
  • Smart drip reduces water use by 60% vs conventional farming
  • Fertigation delivers nutrients through irrigation โ€” no separate application
  • Fog/mist system maintains humidity inside polyhouses without excess water
  • Planned drainage prevents stagnation and road damage

Risk Management

Risk Analysis & Mitigation Strategy

Key project risks identified in the DPR and the mitigation strategies built into the project model.

๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ Crop & Climate Risk Low

Polyhouse infrastructure protects crops from direct weather impact โ€” rain, wind, dust, excess heat. Climate-controlled growing environment reduces crop failure risk dramatically vs open-field farming.

๐Ÿ’ง Water Risk Low

300-acre pond (370 Cr litre capacity) + 1,000 borewells creates a multi-source water security system. Smart drip reduces consumption by 60%. Planned drainage and water management prevents stagnation.

๐Ÿ“‰ Market Price Risk Medium

Grade-wise pricing strategy (A/B/C), multi-channel sales (retail, export, B2B, processing), and value addition zone provides revenue diversification. Conservative/base/optimistic pricing scenarios modelled.

๐Ÿ”จ Execution Risk Low

25 execution companies working in parallel on 200-acre packages reduces single-vendor dependency. Dedicated Project Management Office monitors progress, quality, and timelines across all 50 clusters.

๐ŸŒฟ Pest & Disease Risk Low

Protected cultivation + zero synthetic pesticides approach with bio-control inputs. IoT crop monitoring with 500+ sensors per polyhouse enables early disease detection before visible symptoms appear.

๐Ÿ‘ท Labour Risk Low

On-site labour residency ensures year-round workforce availability. Cluster-level supervisor structure with daily reporting. Training programs and competitive facilities improve retention and productivity.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Financial Risk Low
