“Agrovision is providing a platform for farmers for interaction, discussion and guidance. Farmers are now attracted to remunerative farming of bamboo, cultivation, mushroom production, fruit crops like pomegranate, aromatic & medicinal plants and linseed cultivation, which have become good sources of income to them. Importance of water conservation, organic farming, alternate cropping have been brought forward as major areas of change”

“The journey of Agrovision was started 10 years ago and it has evolved as a biggest agriculture summit in Central India. Agrovision is one such initiative that has been meticulously working to bring the latest practices, technologies, products and services not only from India but from other parts of the world at one place. The unique combination of Exhibition, Workshops and Conference has been educating the farmers about the new avenues in agriculture & related sectors and create B2B opportunities for the industry.”

& empowerment of farming community. Expo,

workshops & conferences are guiding farmers to

use new technologies in their farms. They should

use the knowledge acquired from Agrovision to

provide irrigation to most farmers in Vidarbha
