Jharkhand Promotes Organic Farming with Buyer-Seller Meet
Imagine farmers growing food without using chemicals, which is called organic farming!
Jharkhand is trying to help these farmers sell their food by connecting them with people who want to buy it.
They held a special meeting where farmers could meet buyers from different places, including Africa.
The government wants to help farmers grow more organic food because more people want to buy it.
They also want farmers to learn from others and help them sell their crops.
This way, farmers can make more money and help people eat healthier food.
Jharkhand hosted a Buyer-Seller Meet to promote organic agriculture and connect farmers with markets.
The event included participants from across India and representatives from Kenya.
The Agriculture Minister highlighted the growth potential of the organic market and the need to support Jharkhand farmers.
The state aims to increase its certified organic cultivation area from 20,000 to 50,000 hectares.
The meet aimed to provide market linkages, making organic farming more attractive for rural communities.
