About 4,500 tribal people to benefit; crop spread over seven mandals in Rampa Agency
East Godavari District Collector Ch. Hari Kiran on Wednesday inaugurated a cashew processing unit at Pandiri Maamidi in Rampachodavaram Agency. About 4,500 tribal people, including women, are involved in the value-added exercise to tap the market for the cashew being grown in the area. It is the first cashew processing unit in the Agency, which gives a fillip to the tribal farmers through the Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVK), an initiative of the Central government. The Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Rampachodavaram, has granted ₹25 lakh to the Pandiri Maamidi VDVK, enabling the tribal farmers to explore the market by adding commercial value to the raw cashew at the processing unit.
