CHHATTISGARH, INDIA – Our participation in the 2025 CB Crop Show on 28-30 November allowed us to meaningfully engage with thousands of farmers and agri-stakeholders in central India. Held in Raipur, the event was attended by more than 11,000 farmers and agriculture sector innovators, including key opinion leaders.

Our large flashcards about common issues affecting vegetable plants—like dark spots on leaves—help visitors to identify the likely cause and learn how to manage it.

More than 3,000 attendees visited our booth, enthusiastically exploring our crop production guides, technical guides, and supersized pest and disease management flashcards.

We also introduced them to our digital learning platform, GrowHow, and invited them to connect with us via Instagram, Facebook, and our WhatsApp farmer groups for more advice on sustainable vegetable farming.

The strong engagement and appreciation from farmers at the crop show reaffirmed our commitment to empowering farming communities with knowledge on improved vegetable production practices.

While most of our work is conducted with farmers in their fields, opportunities like this enable us to meet more farmers and stakeholders and connect them to new avenues for learning.

Visitors to the EWS-KT booth listen and learn.
