Haryana farmers are being encouraged by the state government to cultivate horticultural crops, for which the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini-led-administration is introducing new provisions.
Under the initiative, farmers are being motivated to engage in the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and spices; this includes activities such as establishing new fruit orchards, cultivating vegetables through an integrated model, growing fruit crops, spices, and aromatic plants, said a spokesperson of the Horticulture Department.
