However, he acknowledged that water supply continues to be a problem in the state.<br \/>\n&#8220;Water is a big problem in\u00a0Andhra Pradesh. Half the state is suffering from floods, half the state suffering from drought. We worked hard to increase the earthen water table in the state, in specific in Rayalaseema region. Effective use of water through micro and drip irrigation can help horticulture,&#8221; he noted.<br \/>\nThe Chief Minister also said that <strong>five lakh farmer<\/strong>s in the state are being trained in Zero Budget Natural Farming, through which\u00a0Andhra Pradesh\u00a0can become the biggest cluster using Zero Budget Natural Farming.<br \/>\nNaidu\u00a0also stressed on the need for mechanisation for the state to emerge on top in terms of horticulture.<br \/>\n&#8220;Our economy will flourish if horticulture and aquaculture flourish. We are in 4th position in horticulture in the country. We have to attain the top position. Mechanization should be much increased,&#8221; he noted.<br \/>\nThe Chief Minister was accompanied by State Agriculture Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, senior officials of the agriculture department, district collector and local public representatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andhra Pradesh\u00a0Chief Minister N Chandrababu\u00a0Naidu\u00a0opined that horticulture can help the economy flourish while inaugurating a horticulture show &#8216;Udyana 2018&#8217;
