NE to be organic cultivation hub
Assam Tribune | New Delhi, Feb 15
Calling for Central Government’s continued support, Assam Governor Janaki Ballav Patnaik today highlighted the possibility of the north-eastern region becoming a hub of organic cultivation because of its organic soil.
“There is every possibility of the north-eastern region being a hub of organic cultivation by virtue of its soil being organic by default,” said the Governor while addressing a workshop on ‘Policy initiatives for promoting partnership between stakeholders in agriculture with particular reference to rain-fed and dryland farming’ organised by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Pointing to the constraints, the Governor said the sector is not cost-effective due to high value of certification works at the initial stage and needs the Government of India’s continuous assistance for its establishment and export markets.
