A British Export House has showed interest
in importing flowers and vegetables from Kalimpong
to England and Australia.
There is still no confirmation but the representatives
of the export house have given the farmer the seeds of the
products that they plan to export. They think that it will
help the farmer get familiar with the products.
Mr. S.S. Mandol, the Officer-in Charge of
Comprehensive Area Development Corporation said that the representatives
of the export house who had come in the month of May examined
the local markets. They are also interested in promoting the
local endemic vegetables to their customers abroad. The role
of the Corporation is to mediate between the local farmers
and the foreign party. Mr. Mandol further added that work
has already started in this connection.
