This was done as a demonstration exercise for farmers and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) about the availability of abundant avenues for the spices market outside the state, the release said.

“The effort is to make it sustainable by promoting local entrepreneurs who can take up this project. It is expected that farmers of the district come forward and utilize the established market linkage to realize better prices and income,” it was mentioned.
