Chief Minister of the state Mr. Vijay Rupani inaugurated the 9th Agri Asia Exhibition in the presence of Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Mr. Narendrasinh Tomar at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.
Addressing audience during the event, the Chief Minister urged farmers to practice drip irrigation for achieving better output. In this regard, he said that the state government provides 70% subsidy to the farmers for drip irrigation. Gujarat has been a forerunner in agricultural production and farmers can cultivate crops and vegetables based on the requirements of international market for better returns. Farmers in Banaskantha and tribal belt who have cultivated dates, pomegranate and cashewnuts have prospered as a result of the same.
