KVK to Conduct Buyer-Seller Meet for Farmers and SHGs

KOCHI:
A buyer-seller meet will be held on the sideline of the foundation day celebrations of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) from February 1 to 3. It will focus on addressing the marketing issues faced by Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and farmer-entrepreneurs.

Coordinated by Ernakulam Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), the Meet will provide platform for farmer groups, SHGs and small-scale entrepreneurs to showcase their locally produced and authentic farm products, local foods and agro inputs like manures, seeds and planting materials free of cost and secure business deals with potential buyers.

The event will also feature product launch sessions, opportunities for experience sharing and networking, and talks by experts on new marketing strategies using digital platforms. A retail sales section will also be part of the meet, allowing the public to visit and purchase directly from the participants.

KVK officials may be contacted for more information and registration. Phone 8590941255.
