Sikkim turns organic!

The north east states of India have been actively promoting organic farming and Sikkim has gone to the extent that it hoped to see the state fully organic by 2015.

“The Sikkim government is pursuing an ambitious plan to make the state fully organic by 2015, hoping to transform it into a hot spot for organic products,” state agriculture minister D N Takarpa said.

At the Sikkim Food Processing Investors meet, the minister said, “Once the goal has been achieved in 2015, the value of organic products of the state would yield good value not only in the domestic market but also in the international market
