The Ananta Aadarana Millet Farmer Producer Organisation, which represented Andhra Pradesh at the Dubai Expo-2020 from February 17 to 19, has received enquiries from prospective buyers from outside the country.
M. Ramakrishna and G. Gangireddy, who had represented the FPO at the expo, held talks with several businessmen after giving a five-minute audio-visual presentation about the organisation and methods adopted for growing nine varieties of millets in Anantapur district by a 500-member FPO.
“Ananta Aadarana Millet FPO not only showcased the millets at the expo but also registered the importance and historical background of millets in Anantapur and its relevance for future in addressing climate change as well as livelihood opportunities,” said Mr. Ramakrishna.
