ICRISAT-NGO collaboration boosted the morale of the groundnut farmers of Amravati and its neighboring districts in Maharashtra, India. A holistic approach using high-yielding varieties with an improved package of cultivation practices has bolstered the efforts of farmers in achieving higher productivity. Image

"I couldn't believe it myself, 5« tons of dried groundnut pods from a hectare in about 130 days! Never had I imagined this big a yield from groundnut. A high-yielding groundnut variety with an improved package of practices developed by ICRISAT has made it possible," said Mr Shashimohan Neelkanth Rao Deshmukh of Talwel in Amravati District, Maharashtra, India. His face lit up with joy as he recounted how he reaped a bountiful groundnut harvest last season.

An enterprising farmer, Mr Deshmukh is an active member of the National Academy of Agricultural Development and Entrepreneurship and Marketing (NAADEM), a non-governmental organization (NGO) which guides farmers in production, marketing, and export. He has actively participated in the academy's many training and orientation programs.
