A farmer producer organisation (FPO) at Lambi Ahir village in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district has successfully harvested and sold 80,000 kg of mustard with its 300 members diligently working to acquire knowledge and skills for soil testing; sourcing fertilisers and pesticides; procuring high-quality seeds; and conducting regular crop audits.
Within a few months of its inception, the FPO, run by Lambi Ahir’s woman sarpanch Neeru Yadav, has generated revenue worth ₹50 lakh. The farmers’ body is now poised to set up an agro-processing unit with an investment of ₹5 crore, promising a slew of benefits for the village’s farmers.
