India, Nov. 21 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the work done by Tamil Nadu in the field of paddy remains unmatched globally. The prime minister made the remarks during an interaction with farmers in Coimbatore at the South India Natural Farming Summit on Wednesday. Modi was informed that the state has nearly a thousand traditional paddy varieties, with nutritional value comparable to millets. The prime minister remarked that the work done by Tamil Nadu in the field of paddy remains unmatched globally, an official statement said.
The farmers agreed and affirmed the statement, asserting that all paddy, rice, and related value-added products being exported have been displayed at the venue.
Greeting the farmers engaged in natural farming, Modi observed the banana produce and inquired about the use of banana waste.
One of the farmers explained that all displayed items were value-added products made from banana waste, and the products were sold online across India through Farmer-Producer Organisations (FPOs).
