Savayava
Krishi Parivar (SKP) is a federation of organic farmers in Sagara Taluk of
Karnataka State. This organization is
formed by the motivation and guidance from Krishi Prayoga Pariwar (KPP).
During
October 2013 SKP initiated a program called ‘Krishika - Grahaka Milana’
(Producer to Consumers Direct Meeting).
This program brought organic farmers and consumer together on a common
platform where the farmers sell their organic products to consumer without the
involvement of middlemen. This has
helped the farmers in realizing premium money for their produce and at the same
time made poison free, quality food products available at a lower price to
consumers. Consumers know which farmer
has grown the product that they have purchased.
The label has farmers’ name and contact
telephone number besides name of the product, quantity and price.There
are more than 100 different products marketed through this program. The program
is conducted for two days in a month on either first or second Saturday and
Sunday of the month. The program is
supported by Rashtrothana Parishat, Bangalore and Youth For Sewa,
Bangalore.
SKP
has plans to hold this program regularly in different parts of Bangalore during
the year 2014. The federation has quality checks and controls for farmers’
products. Any farmer who wishes to sell his/ her product should be part of this
association.
