This time, around 150 farmers had set up stalls at the GKVK campus, offering fruits, vegetables, and value-added products.
According to UAS officials, this helps eliminate middlemen and ensures better prices for farmers while providing fresh produce to consumers.
“This allows interaction between farmers, consumers, and scientists.
It also helps us guide residents on practices such as home and terrace gardening,” said K. P.
Raghuprasad, from the UAS.
