Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the following questions.
A farmers’ club in Idukki district is the only farmers’ group in Kerala which runs a library
exclusively for farmers. Started in 2017, the library has over 1,000 members and 600-odd
books related to agriculture, animal husbandry and other farm ventures.
“When the younger generation wants to enter farming, they should not be left in the dark for
want of information on farming practices and techniques. The books in the library would offer
them knowledge on farming, animal husbandry and all allied areas. Its membership is open
for all farmers. Quality seeds are also sold at the club,’’ says Tom Cheriyan, club secretary.
The reading room is open to all, but books can be taken home only after paying a one-time
membership fee of Rs. 500.
The club has also brought out four books on farming, which deal with good practices and
stories of successful farmers. The write-ups in these books are by farmers, many of whom
have scripted success stories with innovative farming techniques.
For instance, one book published by the club, on “Modern farming and farming practices”,
includes an article on mango cultivation by Mathew Madathikkandam, a farmer from Kerala’s
mango hub of Muthalamada. Another article in the book, on pepper cultivation, has been
authored by George Puliyammakkal, a winner of the National Innovation Foundation award.
The club has opened a shop too, where pesticide-free vegetables and certified organic
products are sold without a chain of middlemen.
To tap the online market, the club has also developed a mobile app suitable for farmers, as
most of them use smart phones with net connectivity.
Within a year, 15,000 people from across the country have already downloaded the app,
‘farmers’ e-market’. It offers a platform for buyers and sellers from across India. Farmers can
display their products, quote prices and strike a direct deal with buyers. Besides, there are
options for trading poultry products, dairy animals and farm machinery. The app has turned
useful for scores of farmers, who can now directly interact with potential buyers.
Anwar Sadath, a dairy farm enthusiast in Idukki, says he sold three Gir cow calves within a
year through the app. “I had posted photos of the calves along with the prices. Within a few
days, they were sold. After I got the money credited in my account, I took the calves by truck
to Thrissur district. Otherwise, I would have to go to a cattle market and bargain with the help
of middlemen,’’ he says.
At Mannarakkadu in Palakkad, honeybee keeper K Joy is waiting for buyers for forest honey.
“At the wholesale market, we would get less than Rs. 200 per kg of honey. But when we sell
directly, we can get Rs. 300-320 per kg,’’ he says.

SubQuestion No : 11

Q.11   What is NOT sold at the club shop?
A. Farm machinery
B. Pesticide free vegetables
