Jammu and Kashmir Agriculture department and National Seed Corporation (NSC) today signed an MoU for setting up a seed processing and storage centre in Kathua district of the state.

It will augment quality seed supply to farmers which would be readily available to them in adequate quantity and at the right time, he said. The state is entering in MoU with NSC with the indent for foundation and certified seed production during Kharif and Rabi season of 2019-20 to 2021-22.
