The success can be attributed to the strengthening of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and improvements in logistics infrastructure, which are creating new opportunities for farmers. With better access to quality packaging, transport, and market linkages, Odisha’s farmers are now poised to expand their reach beyond national borders, tapping into the global demand for fresh, quality produce.
This milestone underscores the potential of Odisha’s agriculture sector to contribute to the global supply chain, promoting economic growth and benefiting local farmers.
