The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has made a significant investment of ₹90 crore in Pune-based Nutrifresh Farm Tech Pvt. Ltd., as part of a proposed ₹400 crore funding initiative. This investment is one of the first major foreign capital inflows following Maharashtra's commitments made at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis views this as a crucial step in transforming the state's agricultural sector through technology-driven and climate-resilient farming practices. The funding will accelerate the development of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) infrastructure, which is designed to improve crop productivity and water efficiency. A project rollout is expected by July 2026 in the Bhor and Purandar areas near Pune, which aims to enhance farmer incomes and strengthen agricultural supply chains for exports. This investment underscores the growing international confidence in Maharashtra as a stable destination for long-term investments in food security and agriculture.
