The technologies developed by the Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI) here would help Goa further exploit its tourism potential and empower small and marginal farmers by utilising Kalparasa Technology on Neera and its value added products, said Goa Agriculture Minister Ramesh Tawadkar here on Monday.
The snowball tender nut technology developed by the CPCRI should find place in resorts and hotels in Goa to attract tourists especially from abroad, said Mr. Tawadkar who is on a two-day visit to the institute.
The Minister’s team focussed on studying CPCRI’s various farmer-friendly technologies. CPCRI Director P. Chowdappa briefed the team about the research highlights and said that coconut based cropping and farming system can enhance the productivity, input efficiency, high returns to empower youth and women in rural areas in the era of declining land and water.
