Along with food grains and cash crops, growing vegetable crops is fetching money for the farmers, as the awareness about ‘eating right’ is increasingly growing amongst people. Vegetables provide vitamins and minerals to our body, if we eat them on a regular basis they also protect us from falling ill. Many multinational companies are coming up with the concept of supermarkets as a one-stop shop for buying vegetables and fruits in a big way.
