Assured irrigation helps in bringing

too through limited range of products like crop
loans and KCC.
Producers Collectives need to be recognized as
channels - like SHGs and their federations are
recognized - by NABARD, RBI & SLBCCs.
SFAC and others promoting PCs need to work
towards creating enabling and conducive
conditions for PCs to access institutional credit.
