Sustainable Enterprise System: Concept of Producer Company

'Sustainable Enterprise System' is a community based, paced, managed & owned in Rural Orissa. The initiative was supported by NABARD-XIMB Sustainable Trust and the entity is resisted under Producers' Company Act, 2008.
Concept:
The connecting link among the farmers (producers) and to the market (Consumer). The various agriculture produces like cow peas, sesame and black peas are grown in the hills of the tribe in a organic manner. The enterprise system contributes towards bridge up the gap among producers and getting the right value of their produces.

Nava Jyoti: A Producer company

What Navajyoti Stands for


We are people from around the Nava Jyoti Kendra, Nuagada G.P. in Rayagada district, Orissa. While we make about 3500 families from Nuagada G.P. and adjacent villages of Gulliguda G.P., and Tembaguda G.P. Currently, about 250 families have registered as the members/shareholders of the community enterprise system. We expect most of the families of our community will soon join our endeavor to put in place a sustainable community enterprise system that is community based, community paced, community managed and community owned. We produce different types of agricultural produce including those of horticulture, forest produce and animal husbandry. We adopt the age old principles of organic and integrated agriculture. We are now being assisted by NABARD-XIMB-Sustainability Trust to build our community enterprise system for the sustainability of our families and the community.

CARBON MONEY

Carbon trading

Carbon emissions trading involve the trading of permits to emit carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases, calculated in tones of carbon dioxide equivalent, tCO2e). It is one of the ways countries can meet their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol to reduce carbon emissions and thereby mitigate global warming.
107 million metric tones of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) have been exchanged through projects in 2004, a 38% increase relative to 2003 (78 mtCO2e).[1]
The world's only mandatory carbon trading program is the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (or EUETS). Created in conjunction with the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 international treaty that took effect in 2005, it caps the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted from large installations, such as power plants and factories, in the EU's 25 member countries.

The target market is very large .the business concept has competitive advantage over existing solutions. The market is very new and the value and size depends on the size of the companies responsible for the emission. So a market survey is a must to estimate the exact value.
