In October 2024, Mudukulathur Kalanjia Jeevidam Farmers Producer Company Limited made a significant impact by promoting household-level nutritional security. The FPO successfully executed a business transaction worth ₹2.64 lakhs, earning a profit of ₹51,000, by supplying 24,000 vegetable seed kits to 8 Kalanjiam Federations across the Ramanathapuram region.
Impact at a Glance
These nutritional garden kits enabled families to cultivate vegetables at home, reducing market dependency and improving dietary diversity. Beyond economic savings, the initiative promoted healthier eating habits and revived the culture of home gardening within the community.
This is a fine example of how an FPO can not only run a viable business but also contribute to the well-being of its members through innovative, farmer-centric interventions.
