German Ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann said that Germany is trying to help Indian farming techniques be more efficient and sustainable. Ackermann, who also met Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu, told ANI that collaboration in the field of agriculture has been great.
“I think agriculture is an important area here. Germany is active here. Already together with the government, we are trying to make farming more efficient and sustainable. So, there are programmes here to convince farmers to go to natural farming and get efficiency up. That’s a big project we are doing together with the Indian government and as far as I know, this project has been very successful so far.”
Ackermann told ANI that apart from meeting Naidu, he even did a recce of German project in Kadapa district. “We met with the CM, that was basically the reason for my trip. Then we met with the Director of the Investment Agency here. We had a long discussion with him. We also met other people around. So, I will come back to Andhra very soon because I want to see Visakhapatnam also and Kadapa district, where some German project is going on. It’s a state to discover.
