Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy directed officials to ensure significant progress in agriculture infrastructure projects taken up at a cost of ₹16,230 crore. He said due priority should be given to construction of warehouses, and organic and natural farming.
The Chief Minister said the objective of the infrastructure projects was to help increase farmers’ incomes, and a concerted effort should be made to achieve the same.
In a review meeting on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said attention should be paid to raising funds for setting up drying platforms, primary processing centres, providing assaying equipment, enabling farmers to make the best use of electronic marketing platforms, creating mega custom hiring hubs, improving amenities in the aquaculture sector and the construction of fishing harbours and fish landing centres.
