Seeds, seedlings, QPM, tissue culture plantlets, mushroom spawn, fingerlings, yearlings, poultry, biofertilizers, biopesticides, and vermicompost will be the key objectives of the show.

In addition to the opening session, the first day of the event will feature two stages of technical sessions for the participating farmers and other industry professionals.
