| dc.description.abstract | The Mazhuvannoor farmers' market (Swasraya Karshaka Vipani) in Ernakulam district, under the Vegetable and Fruit Promotion Council Kerala (VFPCK), is rewriting history for an audience so accustomed to reading newspaper reports on farmers' woes. In nearly 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area under a sweltering tin roof we could see farmers discuss excitedly the new season. Everywhere, there is an air of expectancy that greets us as we wind our way around heaps of pineapple, elephant foot yam; jackfruit, tapioca, cucumber, jackfruit seeds, banana flower buds, sacks of dried tapioca in various shades; yam stems, half-a-dozen variety of bananas. “I gave up my job in a private company to return to farming,” says V. S. Shashi. It was because of this market that farming has once again become remunerative, he said, bearing witness to a silent revolution brought about by this simple union of farmers. | |
