This was a Food processing,Dairy and Poultry Exibition. Lot of food processing/preserving/packaging machine companies had stalls.
Floriculture tissue culture labs also had stalls.

Agriculture Dpt of Odisha had a stall with display of patented verieties of rice. I checked for some fragrant rice. They had 100+verieties. They have patented with farmers name who has preserved it.

I checked if the seeds are avilable, Dpartment can give seeds in 100gms but they can give farmers name and contact. Most of the verieties were tested in 9 geographical climates and conditions across India.
You must sign a contract for using the seeds with same brand name as patented.

Please contact Director, Agriculture and food Production, Bubhaneshwar, Odisha.
