The Show, to be held from December 8 to 11, aims at familiarising

It should also stimulate public interest in the farming industry and

exhibiting items submitted by farmers for competition.
A number of others will be set up by some 30 commercial firms for showing
their products and services.
An entertainment programme is also planned for visitors who are expected
