Bhubaneswar: Strengthening prospects for mango farmers, a special skill development workshop on scientific cultivation and export-oriented practices was organised by the Odisha Rural Development and Marketing Society at the SIRD campus in Bhubaneswar.

The programme brought together farmers and agriculture officials from 15 major mango-producing districts, focusing on improving productivity and enabling better market access. The training sessions emphasised safe harvesting techniques and strategies to maximise profits through export opportunities.
