Krishi Jagran to Virtually Celebrate International Carrot Day on 4th April 2022

Every year on April 4th, International Carrot Day, also known as Carrot Day, is the pinnacle for carrot enthusiasts all over the world. It is a day when carrots are honored with carrot parties and other carrot-related events. Carrot Day was founded in 2003 to raise awareness of carrots and their health benefits around the world.

The day is becoming increasingly popular, with celebrations reported in France, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan on April 4th, 2012.

Carrot, like any other vegetable, is important to everyone; however, for the farmers who cultivate carrots with their hard work and time, it takes a whole new meaning.

And Krishi Jagran is all set to celebrate this day with enthusiasm.

To honor such farmers and growers on this special day, Krishi Jagran, in collaboration with Somani Seedz, has organized a webinar on World Carrot Day 4th April 2022 at 4 p.m. with the topic "Explore the Importance of Carrot in Food Ecosystem."

• When is the best time to plant carrots?

• Can carrots be grown in greenhouses?

• How to combat the carrot fly?
