Agricultural officials conducted a workshop in Ludhiana to teach farmers modern techniques for oilseed farming and value‑added processing.
Agricultural officials in Ludhiana organised a training programme aimed at enhancing farmers' knowledge of oilseed cultivation and processing. The session brought together local cultivators to demonstrate contemporary agronomic practices.
Participants were instructed on seed selection, soil preparation, pest and disease management, as well as post‑harvest handling and basic processing methods that add value to oilseed produce. Demonstrations highlighted cost‑effective techniques that can be adopted on small and marginal farms.
The training is expected to boost oilseed yields and improve farmers' income by enabling them to produce market‑ready products locally. Officials hope the initiative will encourage wider adoption of oilseed crops in the region, contributing to agricultural diversification and food security.
