Unlike in developed countries these farmers do not receive any subsidies. Therefore, a major portion of the populations of such countries continue to stay below the poverty line generation after generation.
Hidaya helps farmers in economically depressed areas by providing one or more of the following items:
Seeds
Fertilizers
Pesticides
Technical know-how
