The State Agriculture Department has been extending all necessary support to the farmers of the state to encourage them to boost exports.'
 
The Assam International Agri-Horti Show that the department has been holding for several years has also played a major role in the upsurge in the exports of agriculture products.

Representatives from 11 countries have already confirmed their participation in the Assam International Agri-Horti Show. The countries include Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea, Bangladesh, Iran, Bhutan, etc.
 
Bora said, 'The objective of the show is to bring experts, processors, buyers and sellers, policymakers, bureaucrats, farmers, producer organizations, NGOs, farm machinery suppliers, and other facilitators of the agri-horti sector together on one platform. Twenty-nine resource persons from eminent institutions in the country will share their knowledge with the participants in eight technical sessions.'
 
The minister said, 'Around 10,000 farmers will participate in the show. The farmers of the state were encouraged to cultivate millet, floriculture, oil palm, fodder, etc. after visiting such agri-horti shows.' Bora informed the media that the State Government is going to set up an international-level orchid farm at Kaziranga costing Rs 17 crore.'
