India is an agricultural country with huge farming population depending heavily on agriculture and allied activities. Nearly 92 % of operational holdings in Tamil Nadu being small and marginal holdings they have limited capacity to mobilize credit, adopt latest technologies and add value to their agricultural produce. Market inefficiency that reduces the producers share in consumer's rupee giving less remunerative prices to the farmers. Farmer producer company (FPC) is one such and relatively new legal entity of the producers of any kind, viz., agricultural produce, forest produce, artisan products, any other local produce where the members are primary producers. This study explored the status and marketing practices of FPCs followed in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu. The sample respondents are FPCs and retailers who are involved in the sale of FPCs products. Purposive sampling method was used for collecting data by using structured interview schedule. Percentage analysis and Garrett's ranking techniques were used in analyzing the data. The results showed that the processors in FPCs should try to reduce the cost of their produce, so that it could attract all income peoples to purchase FPCs products. The profit percentage has been less for retailers through FPCs products. The retailers should have to develop competitive market promotion measures to create awareness to the consumers about the FPC value added products. Providing discounts, offers and new combo packs for FPC products should be promoted to attract the consumers.Keywords

Diabetes is a common disorder due to metabolism, more or less people of cultural groups in the region globally. This disease is caused due to the lifelong distress and has no cure as of now. Naturopathy / Plant based chemical antibiotics are proven safe than the synthetic chemicals that are artificially synthesized. In this study, the total anthocyanin content and their antimicrobial activity was estimated for the samples. The study revealed the anti-diabetic properties of anthocyanin from several sources such as strawberries (Fragaria ananassa), cherries (Prunus avium), pomegranate (Punica granatum), grapes (Vitis vinifera), flame of forest flowers (Canna indica), hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and guava leaves (Psidium guajava). Extraction has been done by using ethanol as a base and inhibition studies have been conducted. The source ‘Canna indica’ showed huge amount of anthocyanin content of 814.6 mg/100g and other sources showed varied amount of anthocyanin content. Prunus avium fruits showed maximum antidiabetic activity. The total phenolic and anthocyanin contents with its antidiabetic activity for different sources using acidified ethanol were studied.

Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder, which effects people across all cultures globally. Lifelong distress is the cause of this disease which has no cure as of now. Various medications available in the market are too expensive and not easily affordable by all. Rural people rely on plant based Ayurvedic medications to heal diabetes as these contain anti-diabetic compounds. These phytoconstituents/anthocyanin derivatives work with several mechanisms that involve phytoconstituent interactions and target molecules in diabetic metabolism. Molecular docking analysis aids in finding out the interaction between receptors and ligands to identify the finest interaction which suits the target. In this case, the study proposed examining the bonding interactions of anti-diabetic compounds/anthocyanin derivatives derived from medicinal plants (Pelargonidin, Cyanidin, Delphinidin, Peonidin, Petunidin, Quercetin and pancreatic alpha-amylase (4X9Y)) with the help of the computational tool. ADME/T test helps decide different pharmacological and physicochemical analysis of lead atoms, degree of adsorption inside the cell, digestion rate, solvency, blood cerebrum boundary penetrability, cancer-causing nature and so on, which are the significant essentials prior to advertising a medication. Peonidin and Quercetin was proposing the best interactions. Nonetheless, to discover a better cure for diabetes, further in-vitro/ in vivo studies have to be carried out.Keywords
