The 'Washim Shetishilp Agriculture Marketing Cell' initiated by the district administration is proving to be a game-changer for local farmers. By connecting 30 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) directly with national buyers like NCOL, the initiative eliminates middlemen, ensuring better prices for crops like chia, pigeon pea, gram, and turmeric. This transparency in the value chain—from production to sales—is empowering farmers economically and aims to reach international export markets in the future. https://www.lokmat.com/agriculture/market-yard/latest-news-shetishilp-washim-shetishilp-is-becoming-a-game-changer-chia-tur-gram-turmeric-get-direct-national-market-a-a1003/ #creator program
