BASAR, Jan 28: Thirty rural youths, entrepreneurs and farmers, mostly women, participated in a skill development training programme on ‘value addition in orange’, organised here in Leparada district on Tuesday by Lucknow (UP)-based social service organisation Live for Others (LfO).
The programme was aimed at helping the farmers prevent economic loss by preparing concentrated orange juice with a storage lifespan of six months to one year.
“This will also enhance the income of the farmers as compared to selling oranges in the market,” LfO president Usha Shukla said.
