“While interacting with the farmers I noticed that the attendees were not only from Nagpur or Vidarbha but had come from MP,
Chhattisgarh, Marathwada. At Agrovision farmers get an opportunity to see new technologies available in the market and their
usability for their farming. Excellent management, time bound schedules and well organised are other factors which made
Agrovision popular.”
