About this ebook
Apart from the above, reasons for un-awareness of the farmer are there which will become the guide stones to achieve the desired results in the line once he thinks to adopt it. The Book in its present form is a consequence of the practical experience gained by the authors in the field for culture, post harvest and marketing of fresh products and processing for food security. Contents contained for different cultural, industrial and marketing aspects of crops can usher into a new life for the village. It is very high time that farmer understands the intrigues of modern crop culture through his own vision and translates with his untiring efforts. Greatest emphasis in the present book has been laid on the competitiveness of India with other world countries, where India stands to gain at every front whether cheaper production costs or technology understanding or geogra-phical location of India in the center of the world export trade, are very vital.
