Farmer’s Meeting / Group Discussion

Meeting With Dealers
• Reputation of the distributor or dealer among the farmer plays a major role.
• Farmer believes more to their distributor or dealer then to anyone else because they think that if
the product does not perform up to the mark they can claim to the dealer
• Farmer loves to hear regional language and gives attention to the message conveyed in regional
language. So regional languages should be used to carry out any promotional activities.
• Price of the product is also one of the important factors which determine the behavior of the
farmers.
• Some farmers are naive in nature and are more easily convinced by the distributors.
Findings
• An experience to work with a top class MNC.
• Work Culture and Time management.
• How to organize a survey/study research.
• Interaction with People at different geographic locations.
• Brief knowledge about Pesticide market and Industry
Learning
• The company should spend more on brand promotion. Beside all these promotional
activities like farmer meeting, group discussion, individual contact, posters etc., the
company should go for wall painting, local channel advertisement etc
• The pamphlets designed should carry a clear message related the product’s features and
way of usages. Phrases should be avoided
• Company should come up some attractive offers with their product as the farmers are also
attracted with the offers provided by company.
• Company should also go for some field demonstrations of their product to take the famers
in confidence.
Recommendation
• Market force is its biggest strength and can be utilized to grab untapped markets.
• Generic manufacturer (National & MNCs) and regional players are creating a substitute product
for Quality Pesticide.
• Credit was the main problem farmers ware facing
• Most of the Dantotsu users were unaware about the appropriate method and Pesticide doses
• Among the given Market Farmers’ are found to be more aware and obsessed for the Company
Like Bayer due to its complete crop solution strategy and Field Assistant link. Which is leading
more threat to Sumitomo.
