The Loop · Season calendar
Rabi 2026–27, month by month. From soil test to your family's plate.
One calendar for the whole season. Every farmer, every Kendra and every partner works to the same clock, so the soil is tested before sowing, the crop is checked while it grows and the buyer is ready before the harvest.
