How CASA and Muktinath are working together
Project title: Promoting value addition and strengthening linkages with output markets
Muktinath focused on value addition and market-oriented production of vegetables that are in demand and can generate higher revenues. This included initiatives such as providing advisory services and trainings, enhancing access to inputs and providing market access and market-related information. It also involved conducting value-addition activities (cleaning, sorting, grading, packaging) and undertaking efficient vegetable procurement and distribution
