Value Addition In farming is a Must - By Processing Production!

Om Birla said, "Farmers need to improve practices if they want to earn better. He further added that it’s high time to use the latest technologies to produce crops at a low cost. Moreover, farmers will have to add to their production by selling processed goods if they want to earn better.”

He said - countries Like the Netherlands & Mexico like Indian farm outputs. Moreover, he said during his visit to a country like Dubai, people there appreciated India’s Coriander. Also, Netherlands people like Bundi of Rajasthan.

Om Birla added that — “the growing production of millet would increase across the country, including Rajasthan. Moreover, the govt. is putting up a “Farmer Producer Organization” to support the processing & marketing of produced outputs. Through the “Agriculture Infrastructure Fund”, govt. aims to help farmers obtain farming equipment.

Lalchand Kataria, Rajasthan Minister, said — “ it’s high time for farmers to start including the latest farming technology if they want to cut down cost & increase margins. 

Moreover, Udai Lal Anjana Cooperative Minister, shared that we now have 800 msp centres, compared to 250 centres earlier. This is a great opportunity for farmers to increase their crop sales.
