Nearly 1,000 farmers from six villages in Mopidevi mandal of Krishna district have resolved to form a marketing co-operative society for their agriculture produce.
The farmers growing vegetables and horticulture products along the banks of the Krishna river will greatly benefit from this cooperative venture.
The venture mainly supported by Nabard will enable the farmers to open vegetable and fruit collection points in their respective villages and sell the produce without middlemen.
With the availability of abundant ground water the farmers in the villages have been growing crops round the year and waiting for better marketing facilities. The cooperative society will solve their long-standing problem.
