Agrex 2015, a 10-day exhibition of agriculture, floriculture and industry, will be held at the SDV School grounds from December 19.
The exhibition is being organised by Alappuzha Zilla Agri-Horticultural Society, SD College, and the Department of Agriculture, Kerala.
The theme of the exhibition is ‘Organic farming for sustainable food products.’ The show will also coincide with the culmination of the year long silver jubilee celebrations of the Agri-Horticultural Society. The exhibition aims at strengthening rural-urban linkages so as to develop agro-ecological farming in the district, thereby enabling the urban population to access safe agricultural produces and healthy foods.
It will also help the rural farmers form groups to realise reasonably good prices, according to the organisers. Seminars, entertainment programmes and competitions for students will be held in connection with the exhibition.
