Earlier this month, we were part of a #workshop organised by the Assam Bought Leaf Manufacturer's Association in collaboration with the Tea Board of India. They were held on 9th and 10th April at Udaipur near Lekhapani and Pengeri near Tinsukia with 175+ small tea growers from the local community in attendance. The focus was on the #IntegratedPestManagement practices with minimal use of Plant Protection Formulas (PPFs). Among the topics discussed were PPFs that are safer to use in the tea plantations as prescribed in the Plant Protection Code (PPC) and by the FSSAI, along with latest updates on banned chemicals in tea. We provided insights on #climatechange impact on #tea plantations, adoption of #regenerativeagriculture and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) towards #sustainable tea farming. #trusteatraining #partnerships #goodagriculturalpractices #collaboration

I hear people often talk about the challenges faced by Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) like lack of infrastructure, storage facilities, logistic hurdles, market connections, quality standards, and compliance issues. They say there is a long way to go before these #FPOs get the right opportunities. But hold on! It may not always be the obstacle, especially with intent, planning, and commitment. Something magical is happening in #Odisha, where FPOs are reaching global markets through a strengthened ecosystem and collaborative approach. Take Uteivalley Farmer Producer Company Limited in #Kalahandi, #Odisha. Recently, they exported 7 quintals of fresh vegetables from Bhubaneswar to Dubai in just 24 hours, achieving a 50% price improvement. This success is a result of strategic collaboration and team effort, ensuring swift export to Dubai within #24hours of harvesting. The FPO is promoted by NABARD - National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and supported by Mahashakti Foundation as the CBBO and Palladium: Make It Possible as State Government TSU. Palladium: Make It Possible in Odisha, is the Technical Support Unit (TSU) for Directorate of Horticulture, Government of Odisha under the Gates Foundation India sponsored PSFPO 2.0 project. We are proud to create market opportunities for FPOs in rural Odisha, enhancing productivity and price realization, focused on bringing structural and institutional changes within the FPO ecosystem in the State. In the last 2 months, with collaborations with organizations like The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) and Spice Board, FPOs in Odisha facilitated the export of over 86 quintals of vegetables to 7 countries, including the UAE, UK, and Germany. These efforts have also impacted #policy changes, with an increase in air-cargo trade traffic from Bhubaneswar to overseas markets, leading to a 33% increase in the per day export lot size limit by the Biju Pattnaik International Airport. This is just the beginning, and there is much more to achieve. Sincere gratitude to Gates Foundation India for the opportunity and kudos to our PSFPO team led by Biswajit Behera for making it possible and driving #PositiveImpact. https://lnkd.in/d8V6vY2k Debarati Ghatak | Prajnya Praharaj | mridula singh | Bikash Palai | Sarthak Darshan | Parul Sharma | Sritam Krishna Panigrahi | Bibhuti Bhusan Pattanaik

Nawab Fida Hussain of Lucknow brought a unique mango sapling from the area near Shah Faisal Mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan, and transplanted it in Digha, Patna. The Nawab, known for his abundance of cows, adopted a distinctive method of irrigation: using leftover milk to nurture the mango plants. Distinctive Delicacy Dudhiya Maldah mangoes boast a slender seed, ample pulp, and a delicate peel, culminating in a flavor that tantalizes the taste buds. Revered as the crown jewel among mango varieties, Dudhiya Maldah's reputation extends far beyond the borders of Patna. Global Acclaim From heads of state to mango aficionados worldwide, Dudhiya Maldah mango consignments make their way to 33 countries, including the USA, England, Japan, and Dubai. Each year, orders pour in from across the globe, testament to the mango's unparalleled allure. Cultivation Challenges Pramod Kumar, manager of the mango orchard at Bihar Vidyapeeth, reminisces about a time when the Dudhiya Maldah orchard spanned the entire Digha area. However, urbanization has encroached upon the orchard, limiting its expanse to a few pockets. The White Marvel Dudhiya Maldah mangoes, characterized by their pale hue, stand out amidst their vibrant counterparts. Notable locations in Patna, including Raj Bhavan, Bihar Vidyapeeth, Saint Xavier's College, and Kurji Family Hospital, proudly host Dudhiya Maldah trees, a living legacy of bygone eras. Current Challenges and Future Prospects Despite its illustrious history, Dudhiya Maldah faces challenges posed by climatic fluctuations. Recent heat waves have resulted in diminished yields, raising concerns about the orchard's sustainability. Bihar Vidyapeeth, home to a 33-acre mango orchard, endeavors to preserve Dudhiya Maldah's legacy amid dwindling numbers and changing weather patterns.

Exploring the Vibrant Village Vegetable Markets of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu 🌿🍅 Recently, I had the opportunity to experience the bustling local vegetable markets in the villages around Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. These markets are more than just places to buy and sell produce; they are the heartbeat of the community, showcasing the rich agricultural heritage of the region. From fresh, locally-grown vegetables to unique herbs and spices, these markets offer a colorful array of products that highlight the hard work and dedication of local farmers. Each visit is a sensory delight with the aroma of fresh coriander, the vivid colors of ripe tomatoes, and the lively exchanges between traders and customers. What struck me most was the sustainable, community-driven approach to agriculture and trade. The markets operate with minimal waste, relying on traditional practices and a deep connection to the land. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of local economies and the importance of supporting small-scale farmers who are the backbone of our food supply chain. If you ever find yourself in Coimbatore, take some time to visit these village markets. You'll not only find fresh, organic produce but also experience a slice of authentic Tamil culture and hospitality. #SustainableAgriculture #LocalMarkets #Coimbatore #TamilNadu #SupportLocalFarmers #CommunityTrade #Agriculture #OrganicFarming #CulturalExperience

Grapes 🍇 Update from Nashik, 🇮🇳 : A Tale of Two Rains While we were welcomed by beautiful rainbows and rain in Madrid during the Fruit Attraction Fair, back home in Nashik, India, the rain brings mixed emotions for grape farmers. 🌧️ At the fair, we had the pleasure of connecting with many business partners, making it a successful event overall. However, in Nashik, the return monsoon is pouring heavily in key grape cultivation areas, making farmers a bit anxious. The rains are affecting early pruning, which means that this season’s harvest might begin slower compared to last year. For exporters like us, we’re preparing to pack with extra caution after last season’s challenges with higher transit times and the resulting losses. With the rains expected to continue for another 3-4 days, we’ll have a clearer picture of the crop conditions soon. On top of that, we’re keeping a close eye on the ongoing Red Sea issues and increased freight rates from shipping lines. Fingers crossed for a better season ahead! 🤞🍇 #Grapes #Nashik #FruitAttraction #GrapeHarvest #Agriculture #Exports #BusinessUpdate #Nashik #Madrid
