Rahul brings out calendar to promote Wayanad farm produce

Publication will be circulated across the country

Rahul Gandhi, Wayanad MP, has come out with a crop theme-based calendar to promote across the country the agricultural produce of the district.

Each page of the 12-page calendar depicts a crop that is cultivated in the Wayanad constituency. Details of major crops such as banana, ginger, coffee, nutmeg, pepper, cocoa, turmeric, rice, cardamom, cloves, and coconut are given. Apart from this, the area of cultivation, number of farmers who are engaged in it, the total amount of production, and varieties of each crop being cultivated are also incorporated in the calendar.

“It gives me immense pleasure to present a calendar that celebrates the rich agricultural diversity in Wayanad, Malappuram, and Kozhikode”, says Mr. Gandhi. While some crops are native, others originating in various corners of the world made their way to this land and assumed a unique Wayanadan identity, Mr. Gandhi says in the preface of the calendar.
