He said that under land pooling, about fifty acres of land would be raised in each block. Some products have been fixed block-wise by the state government, which will also help in getting the export done. He said that such quality products are prepared by skilled people in many villages of the state, which can get good price at national and international level, but due to lack of knowledge, they are forced to sell at local level at low prices.
