Our Food –TRIF Partnership:
Distributed Manufacturing
One of the ways to catalyze opportunities for
increasing enterprises and linked jobs in
villages is "distributed manufacturing" i.e.
bringing some segments of modern
manufacturing/processing where capital and
technology intensity is low and quality
implications can be handled with robust
operating protocols. In this direction, TRIF
partnered with Our Food for working together to
identify and develop 5,000 potential
entrepreneurs in rural India which can setup
low-cost micro-processing units in villages and
create 10,000 jobs for rural youth.
TRIF works closely with women institutions to
identify and provide business development
services to the rural youth.
Our Food is technology driven franchise platform
and provides all the business processes like
low-cost machinery, training to operate
machinery, financial linkage, operating protocols
for local procurement of raw material and Quality
Control on finished goods and market linkage.
The rural entrepreneurs are required to only
manage operations like procuring raw material
from the local farmers, processing it into final
product and packaging & selling it directly to the
end-consumer through Our Food. More than 70
micro-processing enterprises for pulses, chilly,
rice, etc have been setup in several districts of
Madhya Pradesh.
