Somnath Farmer Producer Organisation Shareholders

"Earlier, we were confined to the four walls of our homes. Today, our names are etched as shareholders in the Somnath Farmer Producer Organisation. Since joining the BCI project, we have strength and now we progress forward."

"Earlier, we could not afford to send our children to school. Farming costs were high and yields were low. Now, yields are high and costs are low. We can save money and send our children to school."

"Since we joined the Multi Commodity Exchnage (MCX), we now get 50-60 rupees more per bale than the local market rate."

"Earlier, we used to buy synthetic pesticides from the agro centre. Now we use Neem Oil and Beauveria Powder. This year, we have only had to spray twice. The yield is looking good."
