Ooty-based Lawrencedale Agro Processing (LEAF) has entered into a strategic partnership with agri-focused IFFCO Kisan Finance Ltd. to provide organised financial products and services to 50,000 marginalised farmers in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

According to the pact, LEAF has structured a model through which agricultural inputs such as seeds, crop nutrition and protection products are provided to these marginalised farmers through a controlled dispensing process.
