If you relish organic foods and products, then, it’s time to head to the ongoing Organic Food Festival at the JLN Stadium. Kiwi from Arunachal Pradesh, black wheat, pesto sauce from Ladakh, chia seeds cookies and apricot oil from Uttarakhand among a wide range of organic foods and products are available at the stalls put up by the women entrepreneurs.
Union Minister for Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal and WCD Minister Smriti Irani had jointly inaugurated the 3-day fest on Friday here aiming to promote women entrepreneurship in the production as well as processing of organic products. Over 180 women entrepreneurs and SHGs are participating from over 25 States and UTs with varied organic products on display.
Badal said that while other parts of world are making special efforts to turn towards organic production, India has natural advantages which must be leveraged. She further said that this organic festival can be of international scale in near future.
