A delegation from the Netherlands Embassy said there was tremendous potential for development of horticulture in Telangana State.
Representatives from the Netherlands explained the ‘Village Level Cold Chain Model’ to State agriculture officials and said that such a facility would help boost export of cut flowers and fruits in a big way. The European country can also offer agricultural technology to Telangana at a much lower cost. The issue of suitable climate in Telangana for Dutch crops such as flowers, vegetables and a wide variety of tubers and potatoes was also discussed.
The Netherlands offered collaboration with the Horticulture University in Mulugu to devise plans to multiply profits in marketing of horticulture produce from Telangana. The State government is also keen on seeking technical help from the Netherlands in the field of village level processing units of spices and fruits grown in the State.
