Support for sustainable livelihood Intervention for Farmers
Department
M/S Chophi Kuqhakulu Agri & Allied
Project Details
Most Naga households are subsistence farmers and grow food for internal consumption only. Sales of agricultural produce are mostly to meet their immediate cash needs rather than a systemic in come generation. Therefore, extent of marketable surplus for each product is low at the village level. A major chunk of the agri-produce comes from the home stead (Kitchen) garden. These are mostly vegetables and fruits which form some part of the saleable items. People don't calculate the inputs and outputs in economic terms, and are not able to express the quantities properly against any tangible land measurement unit Irrigation and fencing for the cultivation fields are the most urgent requirements as per the people met in the villages. Low exposure to concept of cash crop leads to low purchasing power among rural population.
