More pesticides content will affect export of farm produce: Governor
Vijyender Sharma SHIMLA---Governor Acharaya Devvrat on the valedictory function of Agri & Food Technology fair, at Chandigarh today said that contents of pesticides in food products decide the quantum and price of agri products. Presence of pesticides in excess leads to rejection by the importing country. He said indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides needs to be checked which is possible only through natural farming.
He said that income of farmer could be considerably increased and doubled provided inputs to agriculture were largely reduced and replaced by natural farming. It will enrich the soil with carbon contents and generate natural nutrients to crops.

Rajinder Singh, Minister for Rural Development Punjab also stressed the need for affordable technology to farmers.
Sadrit Jain, Chairman C.I.I. welcomed the chief guest while Deputy Chairman Sameer Gupta thanked the Governor.
