Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy launches 'BeNishan'

Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy stressed that 'BeNishan' company formed by Women Farmer Producers' Organisations (FPO) with the help of Society for the Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) would focus on exporting meat besides vegetables and fruits. Addressing a gathering at the launch of 'BeNishan' here on Monday, he asked the women farmers in the State to ensure that the products that they export are of good quality to create demand from the people.

Listing out a series of initiatives of the State government under Chief Minister K



Chandrashekar Rao, to make agriculture profitable, he said that farmers were facing losses due to lack of proper marketing system to sell their quality agriculture produce. He hoped the BeNishan will address the issue at least to some extent by getting them a suitable price to their agriculture produce. He appreciated the initiative to launch BeNishan on Farmers Day.

Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Principal Secretary Parthasarathi, Government Whip G Sunitha and others were present.
