Horticorp inks MoU with seven farmer producer organisations
Vegetables from Tenkasi district in Tamil Nadu are expected to start arriving in Kerala by December-end under a market intervention measure announced by the government for tackling price rise.
On behalf of the Kerala Government, the Kerala State Horticultural Products Development Corporation (Horticorp) on Monday inked an MoU with a consortium of seven farmer producer organisations (FPOs) in Tenkasi to procure the vegetables directly.
Kerala will buy the vegetables at wholesale prices fixed by the Tamil Nadu Agri Marketing and Horticulture Department. This will enable the State to fend off exploitation by middlemen and ensure the supply of good quality vegetables to the public, Horticorp said.
