Organic Federations

Marketing of organic produce through Regional Federations of organic farmers associations

Department of Agriculture, Government of Karnataka has facilitated in formation of 14 Regional Federations and organic farmers associations to provide market for organic produce of the State. Through these Federations and organic farmers associations it is proposed to take up collection, grading, value addition, processing, packing, brand development, marketing of organic produce, apart from consumer awareness programme and other activities. Through regional federations and organic farmers associations, it is intended to eliminate the middlemen in the marketing of organic produces thereby providing remunerative prices to organic farmers’ which would in turn improve the economic conditions of organic farmers due to higher rates for their produces.

Main Objectives formation of Regional Federations and Organic Farmers Associations

  1. To encourage bulk and quality production of organic produce by group approach, capacity building, technology transfer and hand holding support to group in the initial years.
  2. Strengthen infrastructural facilities for collection, grading, value addition, processing, packaging of organic produce.
  3. Providing direct marketing linkages to organic farmers group/associations with retailers, bulk marketers and exporters.
  4. Publicity and consumer awareness to expand the domestic market for organic produce in the state.
