Chittoor Collector calls for action plan to strengthen Farmer-Producer Organisations
The HinduDistrict Collector Sumit Kumar urged the departments of Agriculture and allied wings to initiate action plans to strengthen the Farmer-Producer Organisations in the district. Mr. Kumar highlighted the benefits for small farmers engaging with FPOs, including improved access to technology, credit, and enhanced marketing facilities, ultimately leading to production of higher-quality goods. The Collector underlined the plans to raise awareness among FPOs about government schemes offered by the Central and State Agriculture and allied departments, alongside facilitating essential bank assistance to foster their financial development. “The focus will be on optimising marketing facilities for milk production, vegetables, mangoes, and horticultural crops in Chittoor district, leveraging the existing cold storage infrastructure for crop product storage,” he said.
