ASSAM, India, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Farmers in India's northeastern state of Assam are busily inspecting sunflowers, a profitable oilseed crop widely cultivated in the region. The vibrant flowerheads in buffs and golds are not only a feast to the eyes, but also to insect pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
