​Nalgonda: Horticulture Commissioner Venkatram Reddy said the weather conditions in Telangana were suitable for cultivating dates.
On Wednesday after visiting a dates garden of farmer Agamaiah of Narsingbatla, he informed that Department of Horticulture would like to increase date farming in 100 acres in Nalgonda, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Siddipet and Sangareddy on pilot basis, and after getting good results it would encourage the date farming in rest of the districts.
