The Purchase at Gate scheme was launched by HNL as a complementary programme to Farm Forestry scheme. As per this scheme, pulp wood materials are purchased directly from farmers at a remunerative price at the company gate doing away with middlemen.

Highlights of the HNL Purchase at Gate Scheme:

• Launched in the year 1998.
• Direct purchase of raw materials from farmers.
• Farmers can bring in pulp wood directly to HNL gate and collect the price immediately.
• No middlemen involved – farmers get fair price for their produce.

• A total of 4.27 lakh tonnes of material collected so far.

The scheme is open and company is procuring about 2500 MT of material annually through this .
