Distribution of planting materials organized by ICAR AP Centre Basar in collaboration with KVK Longding
Longding district is a newly formed district, carved out from south-western portion of the Tirap District. It shares boundary to the south with Myanmar and west and the north are shared with Nagaland and Assam, respectively.
The climatic condition of the district is highly favourable for horticultural crops but due to lack of scientific backstopping and its locational disadvantage, the farmers obtain very less yield from the cultivated crop and thus the district is considered as one of the backward district in the state.
For the betterment of the farming community of Longding district, ICAR AP Centre Basar in collaboration with KVK Longding organised distribution programme of planting materials of Large Cardamom , Citrus and Dragon fruit under the Project on “ Integrated Horticulture including Fisheries for NEH Region of India” funded by North East Council (NEC). During the programme 28000 suckers/saplings of Large Cardamom, Citrus and Dragon fruits were distributed.
