Gandhinagar
The Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for South Gujarat will focus on the growing importance of chikoo farming in the state’s horticulture sector. Scheduled on May 1 and 2 in Surat, the event will highlight innovation and investment opportunities. Officials said South Gujarat produces nearly half of the state’s chikoo, showing its strong role in agriculture. The government is offering financial support to farmers to boost cultivation. Experts believe chikoo farming can create more income through processing and exports. The conference will bring together investors and policymakers to expand growth and improve market access for farmers.
