KKS to undertake Organic Certificate Scheme
MUKESH SHARMA
Kalimpong, October 11:
Keeping in mind the
growing demand of organic produce, the Kalimpong Krishak Kalyan Sangathan
(KKKS) will be undertaking the Organic Certificate Scheme from this year
onwards. Under this scheme the Government of India provides half of the funds
to the farmers to take up organic farming. The KKKS has also requested the GOI
for an export license to trade the organic produce. The KKKS say that the
farmer’s produce when supplied in the market gets only 20% of the price and the
rest 80% are taken by the traders. Therefore, the KKKS has directed the
cardamom farmers of Todey, Tangda, Panangoti, Gitabling, Gitbiyog, Pankhasari,
Maipatey, Takdha, Bijanbari, Sonada and Sukhia Pokhari to start up with the
above mentioned scheme.Tags: LOCAL
