e-Krishi centre is making people of Malappuram district more happy in Onam festival by offering them cheap goods than any other place.
The Bhoomi Club under Thrikkalangode e-krish centre sold banana for INR 16 a kg at its special banana counter set up for Onam. The Club purchased banana from the farmers for INR 15 a kg. Farmers elsewhere got only INR 13 a kg after the agents' commission. In the open market, banana was sold between INR 19 and INR 22. While the e-krishi centre made available indigenous banana for INR 16 a kg. The demand for the banana was so much that the Akshaya centre restricted the sale to five kilogram for a person. The Bhoomi Club members have decided to popularise the scheme in a systematic and better organised manner.
