Papaya plant and its fruits are well known to all for their rich nutritional value. But very few of us know that the leaves are equally useful, the lack of knowledge in many farmers about the usage of leaves they either throw them away or use for composting. The Papaya leaves are used in many ayurvedic medicinal preparations and beauty products for treating Dandruff and Anti-ageing problems.
A vendor from Castlerock Belgaum district posted requirement for one ton of papaya Leaves for supply to a beauty products manufacturing unit on Kalgudi platform, the Kalgudi team immediately contacted a farmer in Kadapa district. The farmer has a Papaya farm and after the fruit harvest the tree topping is done for the growth of fresh leaves and the old leaves are used for composting.
A FPO contacted the vendor and arranged for the sale of one ton of papaya leaves for Rs.12000 ie.Rs.12 per kg via Kalgudi platform and payment was done through Kalgudi payment gateway, the farmer is assured of timely payment and after the freight charges the farmer made a profit of Rs.7,200 thus Kalgudi ensured the value addition to the farmer and has shown an alternate fixed revenue stream.
