Chilli growers in Punjab’s border district of Ferozepur are setting an example for other farmers for coming out of the wheat-paddy crop cycle and successfully reaping rich dividends without depending on the traditional crops.
With not many people knowing Ferozepur as one of the biggest cultivators of chilli crops in the state, the Punjab government has recently announced to set up a chilli cluster in the border district as part of its campaign to promote crop diversification programme.
Under the chilli cluster development programme, a group of chilli growers will be provided technical support for reducing input costs and further improving crop quality to tap its export and domestic markets, said officials.
