Organic veggies produced in Bihar on their way to Europe kitchens


Farmers of a village in Bihar’s Nalanda district are planning to go global. Potatoes, pumpkins, garlics, chillis and ladyfingers, among other vegetables, produced in Sohdih village are all set to make their way to kitchens in Europe.
The farmers are eyeing to export organic vegetables to Britain, France, Germany and other European Union countries after their village was awarded the prestigious C3 certificate by the Ecocert, France-based inspection and certification body.
The organic vegetable growers in this village are overjoyed as theirs is the first village in Bihar to obtain the fully organic status.
