In an interview with TNS, Preneet Kaur, said the Mongolian offer had come about during her recent trip to that country. She said the Mongolian government envisaged using Punjab farmers to cultivate land during the six-month summer spell.
The minister said the government proposed opening up a strip of land suitable for sowing of wheat and other seasonal crops to Punjab farmers. She said a company was likely to be formed to facilitate the movement of farmers to and from Punjab.
Preneet said, âEthiopia also wants Punjab farmers and I feel Ukraine will also welcome Punjab farmersâ. She said she would take up this issue during her visit to Ukraine shortly.
