At an event organised by National Agro Foundation (NAF) in Chennai, he said Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) such as block chain technologies could be effectively used not only to improve the quality of agri produce but also to promote export. He also emphasised that agencies like NAF with a nationalistic outlook should play key roles in bridging the research – extension gap and see to that the farmer gets benefited with adequate information, linkages and support as a package in toto.
