Strengthening the Ginger Value Chain in Koraput
Under the Koraput Special Project, 327.44 MT of Surabhi ginger has been procured from 398 farmers across 47 villages in Semiliguda, Pottangi, Nandapur and Dasmantpur blocks, with support from 22 D3C Centres and 22 Sanchalikas.
The initiative focuses on collective procurement, value addition and market linkages, while preparations for the proposed ginger processing unit at Industrial Park, Padmapur are underway.
With active participation of SHG members, particularly tribal women farmers and shareholders, the initiative is strengthening farmer-led value chains and enhancing livelihood opportunities in Koraput.
