Outreach Program at Eluru
ACIC KL Startups Foundation organized an outreach event at Eluru with the Farmer community who are passionate about practicing organic farming. The team of ACIC-KL Startups Foundation & Local Farmers discussed frequent problems faced by the farmers while cultivating traditional methods for Lemon, Betel Nut, Pepper, & coconuts. We also discussed alternative processing sources & methods to increase demand for organic farm products i.e., establishing secondary processing units for value-adding processed products. Farmers interacted with the team and told their problems. Farmers are also cultivating Betel Nuts, Turmeric, etc., ensuring they thrive in a pesticide-free environment, embracing traditional farming practices, and emphasizing soil health and natural pest control.
We also created an awareness of incubation centers, incubation facilities & the support provided to encourage grassroot innovators at every stage of their startup journey.
