The State government has sanctioned 98 collection centres and nine cold storages to provide better marketing facility for horticulture crops in the East Godavari district. The Farmers Producers Organisations (FPO) and the Horticulture Department officials have been tasked to identify suitable locations for setting up the new facilities.
