K.P. Murugan, president, MADITSSIA, said that this was the association’s first step towards improving relationships between farmers and entrepreneurs. He said that the platform would provide space for businessmen to explicitly state their needs to farmers. “The food sector is in dire need of certain products that can be easily produced by our farmers with better technology and implementation of interesting techniques,” he said. He added that techniques like ‘protected cultivation’ devoid of soil and water conservation techniques like ‘vertical irrigation’ will be showcased by experts at the exhibition. “It is important to teach farmers the ‘marketisation’ of agricultural products and help them be holistic entrepreneurs.

Interesting concepts like integrated farming, terrace gardening and organic farming will be given importance. Joint Convenor M.
