Mizoram Governor Lt Gen Nirbhay Sharma today suggested farmers in the state should simultaneously take up horticulture, animal husbandry and fishery for higher success in farming.
Inaugurating the three-day Regional Agri-Fair organised by the Central Agriculture University (Imphal) at the campus of the College of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry at Selesih near Aizawl, Sharma said farming in the state has all along been organic and should be continued.
"Though Mizoram terrain and soil are not very conducive for growing paddy, there is a huge potential for horticulture," the Governor opined, adding the climate was ideal for growing different kinds of fruits and vegetables.
All North Eastern states and Tamil Nadu participated in the fair.
