Chikas Farmers Cooperative Society grows value through cooperative action

Danyore is a peaceful valley where farming is the primary source of livelihood for most families. For years, farmers worked hard on their land, yet production remained low, and incomes were barely enough to meet household needs. Despite their dedication, progress was limited, and many families struggled to move beyond subsistence farming.

A turning point came when the Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF) reached the community through its various initiatives. With the establishment and strengthening of the Chikas Farmers Cooperative Society, farmers began to approach agriculture as a business. Members were introduced to new practices such as vertical farming, apricot drying, and value addition of cherries.
