Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has called upon farmers to join Farmers Producer Organizations in large numbers
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has called upon farmers to join Farmers Producer Organizations (FPOs) in large numbers and earn more income by adopting storage, management, grading, and packaging techniques.
He urged the farmers to adopt micro irrigation and drip irrigation techniques.
Urging the farmers to adopt natural farming, the Chief Minister said that it increases the fertility of the land.
Less water is needed and due to non-dependence on chemical fertilizers, not only the production cost is decreased, but the quality of production also increases, said Khattar while interacting with the farmers of Farmers Producer Organizations through audio conferencing on Saturday.
Mr. Khattar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had envisioned about Farmers Producer Organizations in February 2020 with the objective of increasing the income of farmers by providing them with knowledge of modern technical management, storage, and marketing.
"In this, a target was set to create 10,000 FPOs in the country. The farmers of Haryana have also successfully adopted this scheme. There are 731 FPOs in the state. After getting inspiration from the achievement of these FPOs, other farmers will also join the FPOs," he said, according to an official statement.
During their interaction with the CM, the farmers said due to financial assistance from the government to FPOs and many other types of assistance related to grading, and branding of products, the farmers are getting the right price for their produce.
