As the land portion for agriculture and Horticulture is coming down there is a lot of demand for Vegetables in the state of Telangana. Most of the land is going to the Real Estate for Housing.
Taking this into consideration the Chief Minister wanted the officials to set up integrated vegetable markets in all major towns and municipalities across the State. It will be a win-win situation for the consumers and also the farmers.
CM suggested the officials complete the construction of the integrated vegetable markets at the earliest keeping in view of the increasing needs of people. He said irrespective of the new farm laws of the Centre, there was a need for taking measures for protecting the agricultural markets in the State.
