DCM Shriram Limited and Bayer Crop Science Limited have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing India’s agricultural landscape through innovation-led, sustainable, and farmer-centric solutions. The collaboration sets a broad framework under which both organisations will work together to identify and develop opportunities that strengthen the country’s agri-ecosystem at multiple levels.
The partnership focuses on exploring synergies across agri-inputs, crop solutions, seeds, specialty plant nutrition, biologicals, and digital advisory platforms—areas that are becoming central to the evolution of modern farming. With agriculture increasingly reliant on data-driven decision making, the use of digital tools and advisory systems will play a significant role in improving crop productivity and supporting farmers with timely insights. As part of the MoU, both companies will also evaluate opportunities to jointly engage with farmer organisations and drive sustainable agriculture initiatives tailored to local needs. These efforts include pilots in soil health enhancement, carbon sequestration models, and integrated crop management practices, all of which are critical for building climate-resilient farming systems. Additionally, the collaboration will extend into assessing potential partnerships within select segments of the chemicals business, creating further room for operational and technological alignment.
By bringing together Bayer’s global leadership in advanced agricultural science and DCM Shriram’s strong rural footprint and integrated agri-business capabilities, the partnership aspires to deliver meaningful impact across India’s agricultural value chain.
