Foreign countries to attend Bengal agriculture summit
Kolkata |Tuesday, 2009 8:05:07 PM IST
 

The Netherlands, Nepal and Bhutan are likely to participate in the agriculture summit to be organised here by the Indian Chamber of Commerce and the West Bengal government later this week.

"Many farmers will participate in this summit. Technological upgrading of farming is necessary to achieve 4 percent growth in this sector," Sanjeev Chopra, state agriculture secretary, said here Tuesday.

There will be exhibition and conferences for the farmers in the event to be held Nov 5-7.

Around 2,000-3,000 farmers from West Bengal, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Orissa, Jharkhand, Bihar, and northeastern states are expected to participate in the summit.

The event would help farmers in soil mapping and nutrient management and also urge them to produce more pulses and oilseeds.
