The project facilitated the promotion of bio pesticide among vegetable farmers and demonstrated the higher profitability in doing so. Farmers were intensively trained by ACI’s technical staff on awareness and usage of bio-pesticide. The beneficiaries came to know different kinds of pests and their solutions, provided by ACI. At post-production level, farmers were trained on proper harvesting, grading and carrying. Then in the third part, farmers’ group leaders were connected to the ACI’s retail business “Shwapno” where they sold their safely produced vegetables at a much higher rate.
