Our Leaderboard

The Agriculture sector in India drives 17% of the GDP and provides employment to 58% of our population. India is the number 1 producer of Bananas in the world and yet we export less than 1% of the World’s Bananas. We are constantly working with our farmer communities to change that one leap at a time..

Pillars of Trident Agro

Banana Life Cycle Assessment

Zero Waste Banana Output:
Bananas are one of the most widely grown fruits in the world, and at Trident Fruits we create tremendous value from Banana through a variety of byproducts.
Agro-Forestry: At Trident Fruits, our world class agro-forestry method involves integrating banana cultivation with other crops and trees. It enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, and provides shade, which can reduce water evaporation and pest pressure.

Farm Sustainability Practices

Water Management: Our effective water management practices, such as rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems, help conserve water resources and improve resilience to climate change. These initiatives are critical in regions like Vidarbha belt, where water scarcity can be an issue.
Integrated Pest Management: Our unique approach combines biological, cultural, and mechanical practices to manage pests sustainably. By reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, IPM minimizes environmental impact while promoting biodiversity and protecting farmer health.

Fair Trade & Farmer Upliftment

Farmer Wages: We strive to participate in Fair Trade programs, which ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and community development. This certification promotes ethical practices and empowers workers, enhancing social equity.
Farmer Training & Community Engagement: Trident Fruits is actively enhancing farm worker conditions by providing comprehensive training programs on sustainable practices and workers' rights while also engaging with local communities to support health services, education, and childcare initiatives.

Sustainability Initiatives at Trident Fruits

Agri-Waste to textiles

At Trident Fruits, we harness banana fiber and waste to create sustainable textiles, transforming agricultural byproducts into eco-friendly materials. Our innovative process not only reduces waste but also promotes a circular economy. By weaving these natural fibers, we produce soft, durable fabrics that embody our commitment to sustainability. This initiative reflects our dedication to environmental responsibility while delivering high-quality products.

Extensive Soil Testing

At Trident Fruits, we prioritize soil health as a cornerstone of our fruit cultivation. Regular soil testing allows us to assess nutrient levels, pH balance, and organic matter content, ensuring optimal growing conditions. By analyzing soil health, we can make informed decisions about fertilization and irrigation, promoting robust grapes & Banana growth thereby enhancing flavor.

Residue Management

At Trident Fruits, we manage banana residues by repurposing leaves and stems into organic matter, enhancing soil health and meeting global import standards. Our practices prevent contamination and align with international guidelines, ensuring responsible production. This commitment ensures our bananas are high-quality and sustainably sourced for global markets.

Technology in Operations

At Trident Fruits, we utilize technologies like drones to enhance our banana plantation management and boost efficiency for farmers who might not be able to afford them. Drones provide aerial imagery and real-time data, allowing us to monitor plant health, track growth, and identify potential issues quickly. This technology aids in precise irrigation and fertilization, reducing waste and optimizing resource use for international quality standards.

Sustainable Earnings for Farmers

At Trident Fruits, we empower banana and grape farmers by connecting them to overseas markets that offer above-market wages. Our established export networks ensure fair compensation for high-quality produce while providing training to enhance cultivation practices. This approach boosts farmers’ incomes and fosters economic stability within their communities.
