As we know that in India, green lady fingers are common and farmers also cultivate that only. The red lady finger is generally found in Western countries and if needed, India imports this variety from any of these nations. But, as this variety has been developed in India, there will be no need to import it from other countries. Now farmers here will be able to produce it themselves.
