Indo-US horticulture workshop at PAU.
Jan 24, 2024

Amidst the congregation of eminent horticulturists from India, US and Australia, a two-day Indo-US Workshop on ‘Horticultural Crops’ kicked off at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) today.
 
Delegates from across India and abroad attended the inaugural ceremony, which was organised as a part of a cooperative venture between PAU and California State University (CSU), Fresno, US.
 
Dr Sabir Singh Gosal, vice-chancellor, highlighted the pivotal role played by PAU in boosting horticulture in Punjab. 'With horticultural crops touching 28.04 million hectares of area in 2021-22, Punjab has seen a massive jump in the area under fruit, vegetable and flower crops in three decades,' he stated.
 
Dr Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, president, CSU, said that California produces 25 per cent of the US’s food, and has carved a niche in production of grapes, besides being successful in farm mechanisation. The keynote address was delivered by Dr Gurreet Brar.
