It is expected that some unique organically produced commodities like jute, litchi, cosmetic raw materials from the state fof Bihar will soon be ready for export to different world markets.
It is in this connection that the International conference on Organic Agriculture is held at Patna from June 22 to 24, 2011. Experts from national and international organisations are expected to attend the conference besides farmers and state government officials.
