Tripura eyes self-sufficiency in potato production

Tripura aims to achieve self-sufficiency in potato and seed production by 2030 through initiatives by the Agriculture Department. An agreement with the International Potato Centre (CIP) will provide technology, skill enhancement, and a processing center. The state has seen yields increase dramatically using the Epical Rooted Cutting (ERC) technique, with plans to expand the program to 4,000 farmers.
