Summer brings mango season — and for the members of Sampurna Women producer group, it also brought an opportunity to earn together.

This summer, members of this producer group from Buromunda village sold Dasheri mangoes collectively. They planned their harvest and sold at the right time, fetching a remunerative price. In total, they sold 26.4 quintals and earned ₹1.19 lakh in the first phase.

This activity was done under the APC program in Loisingha Block, with support from APC partner YCDA, the Directorate of Horticulture, and Department of Mission Shakti.
