The government of Karnataka has listed the Chikkaballapur, Kolar and Bangalore (Rural) districts as rose onion clusters to promote their exports through various interventions under the Centre’s Agriculture Export Policy (AEP).
Four Chikkaballapur’s farmers producer organizations have recently signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BS Allium Cepa Exports to encourage rose onion exports, an official announcement said. According to the Karnataka State Agricultural Produce Processing and Export Corporation Ltd (KAPPEC), about 2,500 farmers are likely to gain benefits from this initiative.
