Learning 1. Late Procurement because of delay funding Factors: - Compromise in Quality Purchase of Pigeon pea from open Market with high price Learning: - Purchasing of Pigeon Pea should be started from October Price allocation according to quality/grade Should be sold as per the market rate and market system Criteria should be fixed for purchasing of pigeon pea Every farmer should aware about the criteria for selling of pigeon pea

2. Less production high expenditure Factors: - Handling charges are more Lacking of drying and storage place Problem in oil mixing – proportion is not maintained Stock is not maintained properly Over expense in cleaning and grading Over expense in Packaging Irregularity in Electric Supply Irregular Monitoring of project – Unit located at village level Learning Required more space for drying Required cleaning machine Need to groom the Federation leader and employers Production unit should be shifted to Taluka or town place (Netrang)

3. Marketing Factors: - To enter in market with new brand Compete the open market – Broken and Uniformity is not maintained More transportation cost – Retailers demanding on credit base purchasing Incompetence of staff for marketing Problem in communication Learning: - Need to groom the Marketing Staff Require Professional support for market linkage
