Identify more crops for value addition, say farmers Updated: Updated: Banana cultivation gets a boost under ODOP in Mysuru Share Article Banana cultivation gets a boost under ODOP in Mysuru The government’s proposal to promote value addition for banana cultivated in Mysuru under One District One Product (ODOP) has raised concern over its long-term impact on crop diversity. ODOP is backed by Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro food processing Enterprise (PF FME) Scheme announced by the Centre. While Mysuru has been identified for banana, turmeric has been identified for value addition in Chamarajanagar and jaggery in Mandya district. The concern of a section of farmers stems from the slew of benefits that will be available for the entrepreneurs including 35 percent credit-linked capital subsidy for ramping up infrastructure for value addition.
