Challenges Faced by Farmers
During our follow up visit all the farmers showed keen interest in continuing with agriculture. The farmers also were keen in learning the techniques using solar energy in agriculture The farmers showed keen interest to form their web sites to developing better marketing opportunities. Overall there were 10 successful stories, and if given more support there will be more successful stories. Difficulties of farmers The farmers wanted a market for their produce. The existing market does not give them a proper price for their produce. Farmers have difficulties withs the bankers to avail loan for their farming. Most of the Government schemes do not reach the weak farmers. The farmers requested AIMS to present their request to NABARD on their urgent need to form a federation. Farmers are interested in adopting new technology Like solar equipments used to generate free energy for day to day farming activities like watering the field, fencing, pumping water, specially for drying their produce like chille , Kokum, Cashew, Jack fruit seeds, etc. Successful Stories of Farmers
