According to the embassy, the purpose of the Tuesday’s visit was to learn about the “purpose, formation process, activities, successes and challenges” faced by the Farmer Organisation (FO) and its members.
The Danish government is supporting the Integrated Farm Management Component (IFMC) project that helps farmers to unite under a FO. About 1,100 such FOs has been formed in different districts.
Poor and marginalised farmers become members of the group, which collectively faces the marketing challenges of their produce.
