Slowly, but surely, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) are knocking the path of progress. A collective effort by the officials and members of FPOs are making it possible. This will give an assurance not only to members of FPOs but also open doors to farmers for profit.
Here is one such example where three FPOs in Khammam district that have made a profit of ₹96 lakh in just two months of chilli season.
Teja is best variety of red chilli that was much in demand being produced in Khammam district. Usually, after harvest the farmers take the produce to the market and wait for the buyers. Some time the waiting will be for three to four days. Similarly, the farmers have to lose some part of their produce in the form of ‘Tarugu.’ There will be distress selling as well.
