Promotion of Agriculture Production Clusters (APC)
in tribal regions of Odisha

November 2018 - November 2023

The “Promotion of Agriculture Production Clusters (APCs)” project in tribal regions of Odisha is aimed at empowering small and marginal women farmers, doubling their income sustainably. It is a collaborative effort between multiple organizations and government departments, targeting 40 tribal-dominated blocks across 12 districts. The project focuses on strategies such as diversifying crops, improving infrastructure, providing input services, adopting sustainable practices, ensuring fair prices, and organizing production systems. Mission Shakti and the ST&SC Development Department have partnered with the project to support women farmers in producer groups and capacity building.
