JAIPUR, (IANS) – For the first time in the history of India, cow dung will be exported to Kuwait, that too a whopping 192 metric tons, said Atul Gupta, National President of the Organic Farmer Producer Association of India.

A Jaipur-based company Sunrise Agriland and Development Research Pvt Ltd has got this order.
