“Project Disha” is an innovative initiative spearheaded by Terraglebe Farmers Producer Company Limited, in collaboration with Nimadfresh FPO’s members, aimed at promoting Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the chilli farming program. With a vision to usher in sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices, we embarked on this transformative journey with 62 dedicated farmers, covering an impressive 350 acres of land in its inaugural year. year.

Central to the success of “Project Disha” was our commitment to providing farmers with comprehensive support through a well-crafted Package of Practices (PoP). Armed with this knowledge, our farmers were equipped to optimize their cultivation techniques and embrace modern, eco-friendly methods.

Ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality, we offered an exhaustive list of approved molecules that adhered strictly to the regulations set by the United States (USA) and European Union (EU) norms. By strictly adhering to these guidelines, we not only safeguarded our produce but also demonstrated our commitment to sustainable farming practices.

At the heart of “Project Disha” was precise monitoring and diligent field testing. We diligently avoided the use of harmful chemicals, focusing on non-toxic alternatives, to create a conducive environment for the growth of healthy crops. Our farmers embraced these practices with enthusiasm, and the results spoke for themselves.
Through unwavering dedication and efforts, we achieved a significant milestone for Madhya Pradesh. For the first time in the state’s history, a Farmers Producer Company (FPO) successfully exported IPM red chillies to Europe. This monumental accomplishment was widely recognized and celebrated, making headlines in newspapers for several days.

It not only elevated the livelihoods of the participating farmers but also set a shining example for others to follow. By demonstrating the viability and profitability of IPM, we hope to inspire more farmers to adopt eco-friendly practices that benefit both the environment and their communities.
As we continue to march forward on this path of progress, “Project Disha” remains committed to empowering farmers, preserving the environment, and setting new milestones in the world of agriculture. Together, we are redefining the future of farming, one step at a time.
