Cooperative to provide better market to Honey producers to boost their income

Patna, March 11 ( UNI) The Bihar government has initiated major steps to strengthen the economic condition of honey farmers by ensuring them better market access for their produce.
Official sources said here Wednesday that to help farmers get the maximum price for honey, the Cooperative Department has constituted 144 block-level Honey Producer and Processing Committees across the state. These committees will assist farmers in organised production, processing and marketing of honey, enabling them to work collectively and improve the quality and reach of their products.
