There is an increasing demand for palm-based products. Keeping this in view, we experimented with an innovative sweet-jelly made of palm fruit and the product is really catching up, explains Y. Surya Kumari, an entrepreneur displaying food products manufactured under Krushi Products, West Godavari, at one of the stalls.

Another entrepreneur D. Gayathri Devi, who runs Gayathri Papads, says, “It has been two years since I availed subsidy under PMEGP. Today, my unit employs more than 15 persons. The business is fast growing and gives an annual turnover of not less than Rs.7 lakh.”
