Support from the U.S. government helped Radhakrishna Foodland Pvt. Ltd. and the Nandani Farmer Cooperative sign an agreement establishing Nandani Farmer Cooperative as the primary supplier for Foodland, increasing profits for farmers and providing a reliable supply of quality fresh produce for Foodland.

Nandani and Foodland were brought together by the Growth Oriented Micro-enterprise Development program, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
