KARACHI: Karandaaz Pakistan has entered into a partnership with Kissan Gudam, a venture of the Hajisons Group, a statement said on Friday.

The collaboration is set to unify modern storage infrastructure, digital financial services, and direct market access into a single seamless platform. This effort aims to help smallholder farmers protect their yields, access fair credit through electronic warehouse receipt based financing and secure sustainable livelihoods, while also reducing post-harvest losses, boosting market transparency, and bringing farmers into the formal financial ecosystem.

Kissan Gudam offers a model that bridges digital trading and agri-financing with hermetic storage solutions from GrainPro, a global provider of post-harvest storage technology. Supported by this partnership, Kissan Gudam aims to scale its post-harvest ecosystem across rural Pakistan to further financial inclusion and equitable growth for farming communities.
