A total of 2.22 Ton of Amrapali, Mallika, and Dasheri varieties of mangoes were successfully procured by Mother Dairy and dispatched to New Delhi by our partner Farmer Producer Companies — MAA BAYANI FPCL from Chhendipada Block, Angul District, and LAHARANGA LA FED FPCL from Bamra Block, Sambalpur District. This is the first tranche despatched through Indian Railways. Livelihood Alternatives (LA) has been consistently supporting the farmer producer companies by facilitating capacity-building workshops on pre- and post- harvest technologies, packaging and maintaining quality- standards, including cleaning, grading and sorting. This market linkage initiative will significantly boost farmers' earnings by offering better prices than the prevailing local market rates, enhancing their income and strengthening the agricultural value chain.
