Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 4 (ANI): The Department of Agriculture, Kashmir has set up an organic vegetable market in Lal Mandi, Srinagar to revive the traditional organic farming, an important part of Kashmiri tradition.
In an effort to boost organic farming, the administration had started its first organic vegetable market last year but due to the pandemic and subsequent lockdown, the farmers could not manage to produce and continue organic farming.
This time around, with the immense efforts of vegetable experts who from time to time visit farmers in their fields and motivate them to restart the activities of organic farming by assuring full support from the agriculture department, the organic vegetable market was set up.
