A state-of-art quality assessment Laboratory has been established at National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack with the funding support received from Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, Odisha. The facility has been developed under the project, “Strengthening Entrepreneurs in Marketing and Export of Value Added Agricultural Products by Establishing a State-of-Art Quality Assessment Laboratory in Odisha”. The laboratory will provide quality analysis support to the producers as well as different stake holders in value chain of rice, which is a major agricultural produce in the state. This will help to bridge gap between the producers, traders and market demands.
