An Indian farmer was awarded a Guinness World Record after his coriander plant was confirmed to be the world's tallest at 2.1 meters.
Gopal Dutt Upreti, an organic farmer, said he used traditional Himalayan farming techniques to grow the large coriander plant at his apple orchard. The previous record-holder was 1.7 meters.
Upreti said he hopes his achievement will inspire more farmers to switch to organic methods of growing.
