Premium vegetable production seminar on Thursday

Local farmers and people interested in vegetable farming are invited to take part in a seminar on premium vegetable production to be held at the Tai Lung Experimental Station this Thursday (January 23).

The seminar, jointly organised by the Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD) and the Federation of Vegetable Marketing Co-operative Societies, is aimed at promoting the cultivation of exotic vegetable varieties and the use of environmentally friendly measures in pest and disease control.

An AFD agricultural officer, Ms Wendy Ko, said today (Monday) that the focus of this seminar would be on exotic vegetable varieties suitable for cultivation in cool weather.

Ms Ko said most of these vegetables supplied in Hong Kong were imported and sold at higher prices.
