A workshop with farmers and exporters was held in Vijayawada on Tuesday to enhance the export opportunities for agricultural, horticultural and processed food products. Minister Govardhan Reddy inaugurated the workshop.
He said AP is an agricultural-based state and there was a high level of outflow of agricultural products from the state to other states as also to markets abroad. The need is to increase this flow of agricultural products from the state, he said.
He urged exporters to give a better price for agricultural products to farmers, which should be more than the remunerative prices. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is constantly striving to provide more benefits to the farmers, he said.
The government stands by the farmers at every stage, from the sowing of seed to the sale of farm produce, by the establishment of the Jaganna Yantraseva Scheme at RBKs.
