A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed today between the Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) and National Institute of Plant Health Management (NIPHM) to enhance turmeric production in Meghalaya.
The collaboration aims to bridge the existing gaps in the horticulture sector, particularly in plant health and good agricultural practices.
The MoU was signed between MBMA CEO Vijay Kumar D and NIPHM Director General Sagar Hanuman Singh.
The assistance provided by NIPHM will allow the MBMA to cultivate in line with the latest international guidelines, boost quality of produce and create a stronger brand for the crop, a press release stated today.
The partnership will provide technical services to MBMA, including interventions and training programs at concessional rates. This will help turmeric farmers in the West Jaintia Hills region achieve better yields and improve the quality of their produce.
