Description This study was carried out to assess the impact of a CFC-FAO-ICRISAT
project titled ‘Enhanced utilization of sorghum and pearl millet grain in the
poultry feed industry to improve livelihoods of small-scale farmers in Asia’
executed by ICRISAT in collaboration with local partners and stakeholders.
The project is being implemented in three countries of Asia: India, China
and Thailand. This study covers region I, India, where the project is being
executed in three clusters in the state of Maharashtra and two clusters in the
state of Andhra Pradesh.
The project mobilizes small-scale sorghum and pearl millet farmers with the
aim of enhancing farm-level productivity and improving harvesting, storage
handling and grain marketing practices. It also facilitates linkages between
farmers on the one hand and seed and grain suppliers, credit agencies, poultry
feed manufacturing companies and poultry producers on the other. The project
provides infrastructure support to farmers by building warehouses in each
cluster. The ultimate objective of the project is to increase farmers’ income by
10%-15% at the end of three years of project interventions.
