ABPM-Supported FPO
To diversify its income, the FPO also ventured into maize processing for the production of animal feed, creating an additional source of revenue while reducing feed costs for local livestock farmers.
With ABPM's support, the FPO further established a Rural Mart, which serves as a retail outlet for FPO products, animal feeds, and other agricultural inputs.
