2) Midima Holdings Ltd. have a business proposal which will focus on eco friendly production of pulses and benefit thousands of local farmers. It involves processing and packaging pulses which are beneficial in so many different ways and the scale of the project is such that it will make an impact. It is proposed to have a number of AGRO BUDDIES who are experienced pulse farmers, able to get alongside famers and who are good communicators.
