Complete Details of Technology:	:
ICAR-Indian Institute of Spices Research has implemented a multi institutional project leveraging technologies which are already available with the organization for immediate benefit to the tribal community at Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The institutions in the collaborative action involved were AICRPS Chintappalle, Tata Trust an NGO at national level and Giri Chaitanya Mutually Aided Cooperative and Marketing Society, an NGO at local level. Eight technologies defined as GAP were tested through AICRPS on Spices at Horticulture Research Station, Chintappalle and disseminated adopting a multi institutional value chain approach. The project proposed a supply chain of establishing community nurseries for introduction of genetically improved varieties of turmeric, validating and demonstrating selected GAP. Demonstrations and skill trainings were also carried out in primary processing of turmeric ending up with production of value added products and marketing by tribal FPOs. The action research from 2016-2019 helped to design an extension model based on value chain approach to improve the livelihood of the tribal farming communities.
Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
The model proposed an integrated strategy of following interventions during 2016-2019 in Paderu Tribal Agency Area in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The programme was targeted to reach six turmeric FPOs with more than 5000 farmer members. i. Validation of feasibility of eight GAPs for turmeric through AICRPS ii. Demonstrations of the eight technologies in 32 selected farmers field and evaluation iii. Method demonstration and machinery supply for six FPOs for primary processing of turmeric iv. Training on standardization, production, branding and marketing of four value added products of spices v. Training programmes on GAP for farmer members of six turmeric FPOs

Benefits/Utility	:
The immediate outputs of the model can be summarized as follows: Eight technologies defined as GAP were tested through AICRPS on Spices at Horticulture Research Station, Chintappalle and disseminated adopting a multi institutional value chain approach. Two technologies namely improved varieties of turmeric and mechanization of primary processing in turmeric had significant impact on increasing productivity, income and quality. The traditional varieties were replaced by farmers with Roma variety which raised the productivity from 8-9 t/ha to 32 t/ha. The improved quality of produce due to mechanization of primary processing helped to realize higher price. The project supported Maathota Tribal Farming FPO involving 500 tribal farmers in 800 ha of turmeric and obtained organic certification by TQ Cert Services Private Limited. Another FPO, Andhra Kashmir with 500 farmers had completed organic cultivation of turmeric in two seasons in 683 ha. Women farmer producer organizations supported by Giri Chaitanya Farmer’s Society marketed four value added products of spices, branded and labeled under the project.

Impact, If Adopted	:
The technology provides an operational model for intervention methods in combination, based on value chain development of a crop. In this case the model is derived by educating farmers on all aspects of value chain in turmeric crop. The hypothesis developed is based on bridging three gaps namely knowledge, resource and income gaps of disadvantaged and unreached sections of farming sector. The integration of interventions, built in to this model and convergence of plan and actions through multi institutional collaboration ensures direct benefits of increase in productivity and income of tribal farmers. The gender issues like tapping the role of women farmers in processing and value addition and mechanization of labour intensive primary processing are addressed. The out puts were scaled up by institution building (FPOs) and media participation.
Social Impact	:
Tribal farmers and farm women participation was ensured through inter institutional collaboration and programme convergence. Capacity building programmes helped in leadership and Institution building of turmeric FPOs. Women empowerment was facilitated by programmes on value addition. The drudgery of labour due to traditional primary processing practices was reduced by mechanization of primary processing involving improved boiling and polishing of turmeric.
Technology Spread	:
Improved variety of Roma turmeric spread to around 1500 ha. Four Turmeric FPOs federated into 528 Farmer Producer Groups and more than 5000 total farmers as members were benefited.
