AVT McCormick adopts the use of latest agricultural technologies
As a part of our endeavor to preserve the environment, we have taken initiatives to promote mechanization of the chemical spraying process in our farms. This practice helps cut down the amount of chemical loading on the planet. The use of mechanized assets also offers complete protection to the operators as they don't come in direct contact with the chemicals. By adopting the use of a high clear sprayer in the pilot project across 110 acres, we have reduced six rounds of pesticide consumption on an average. This is also aimed at promoting the entrepreneurial start ups in the field of agriculture
Great Place to Work
AVT McCormick becomes the first organization in the food industry in Kerala to achieve “Great Place to Work “ Certification for the third consecutive year! “Great Place to Work” certification is reflective of the culture we have built, demonstrating the management commitment to fostering a workplace that is empowering, invigorating, inclusive and rewarding. This certification assists AVT McCORMICK to benchmark and endorse the people related management practices we follow; in-turn creating a high trust work experience for all employees and to produce better results. We remain committed to our goal of transforming AVT McCORMICK to one of the best companies to work for globally.
