“Farmers work hard with dedication to produce agricultural products, but they face marketing problem. We will focus on the marketing of the farmers’ produce to increase their income. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has the aim to double the income of the farmers by 2022,” the minister said.

Meanwhile, he flagged off a mobile retail van from Gharaunda centre. The minister said the centre had been extending support to enhance the production with the help of new technologies and the farmers were being trained for new research in horticulture.
