FarMart published its 2025 Impact Report detailing environmental, economic, and governance outcomes across India’s agri food and energy value chains. The company credits operational innovations in sourcing, logistics, and commerce for reduced food loss, improved transparency, and stronger farmer incomes.

Co-founder and CEO Alekh Sanghera said India’s food system fails in coordination rather than at the farm. He identified small inefficiencies across aggregation, logistics, storage, and payment cycles that compound into food loss, higher emissions, and income volatility. FarMart is redesigning this middle layer using technology, data, and disciplined execution, framing emissions avoided and food loss prevented as outcomes of a more efficient system.

Co-founder Mehtab Singh Hans reported that digital workflows channelled aggregate payments of ₹23.4 billion directly to nearly 5 lakh farmers in 2025, which the company says enhances income predictability and reduces dependence on fragmented mandi systems.

The report states FarMart operates across more than 40 agricultural products and engages over 487,619 farmers. For 2025 the company reports avoiding 23,567 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, preventing 18,305 tonnes of post-harvest food loss, and saving 5.39 billion litres of fresh water by improving movement efficiency and reducing embedded waste in sourcing.

Tannya Garg, Head of Impact and ESG, said FarMart’s first in‑house carbon accounting shows 99.99% of emissions are upstream in agriculture. She added the company is investing in stronger data systems to move impact measurement from estimation to precision.

FarMart’s report sets five impact pillars—Carbon, Community, Consumer, Capability, and Credibility—to guide capital allocation, technology deployment, and partner selection. The company also highlights strengthened labour safeguards, real-time logistics monitoring, digital purchase order consent systems, and AI-led anomaly detection as operational measures to embed credibility into daily commerce.
