Panaji, Sep 17 (UNI) Goa Chief Minister Pratapsinh Rane today called for increased use of biofertilisers in a bid to maximize profits.

Inaugurating a biofertiliser factory belonging to the Cosme group of companies at Sarvana in north Goa's Bicholim taluka, the Chief Minister said that agroproducts produced through the use of organic farming were more in demand, due to health considerations.
