Peri-Metro Vegetable Cluster to come up in the district

The Peri-Metro Vegetable Cluster Development Programme that enables farmers to bring their vegetables to collection centres and auction their produce would be established across the district.
Horticulture officials said that the programme was introduced to increase the productivity of vegetables and enable farmers sell their products on their own and make vegetables available to people at affordable cost.
The programme was being implemented across the State through the Horticulture Department. Vegetables are being cultivated in Kolli Hills, Namakkal and Pallipalayam blocks. Hence the programme would be implemented in all other blocks, they added. Farmers who cultivate high yielding vegetables would be given 50 per cent subsidy apart from other training. Interested farmers can approach the Horticulture officials.
