BSS, Rajshahi :
Experts in a training session have urged the growers and traders to give utmost emphasis on safe harvesting, handling and marketing of mango for food safety and attaining confidence of the consumers in general in this regard as hygienic preservation and consumption is very much important for public health.
Mango is the leading seasonal cash crop of the region and dominates the economy in the two districts famous for the delicious fruit. So, there is no alternative to make the growers and others concerned habituated in maintaining hygienic condition and other best practices from production to marketing.
To this end, there is no alternative to being all the mango farmers and businessmen under requisite training. Modern technologies need to be promoted commercially in the process to protect mango from unethical mixing of formalin and other harmful insecticides besides facilitating the farmers to get quality and better yield and price.
They were addressing a daylong training workshop titled “Food Safety Policy and Law: Post-harvest Handling and Business Opportunities for Safe Production and Marketing of Mango” held at Godagari Upazila conference hall of the district yesterday. More than 50 farmers, traders and wholesalers attended the training.
Agriculture Sustainable and Socio-Economic Development Organization (ASSEDO) organized the practical training in association with Promoting Food Security and Livelihoods of Marginalized People of Barind Tract Project and Oxfam-Novib.
