Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday asked Markfed to provide its world class products at affordable prices to the people for stabilising their kitchen budget and saving them from the scourge of ever increasing inflation. The Chief Minister, launching Markfed’s Litchi Honey, Litchi Jam, and sanitary products — MarkPik and MarkPhenyl, said that Punjab Government’s this public sector undertaking has left an impeccable imprint in market with the quality food products like Ghee, Refined Oils, Sauces and Basmati Rice and others. “Focus must be laid on providing these things at economical rates to the people so as to give relief to them from the vicious circle of rising prices. No stone must be left unturned for this noble cause in the larger public interest,” he said. Exhorting the farmers to adopt horticulture, bee-keeping and other agriculture allied activities to supplement their income, Mann said that it will play a pivotal role in transforming their destiny. “The hard working and resilient farmers of the state have left an indelible imprint in national food production by making the country self-sufficient. However, now that food production has reached a point of saturation, the need of the hour, is to maximize fruit and vegetable production for supplementing the income of farmers,” he added.
