Agri economy

Agri economy is very important for the sustainable growth in Jammu and Kashmir especially in the rural areas. Central government and J&K administration have been providing multiple schemes for the farming community to grow.

Recently LG Manoj Sinha inaugurated IFFCO’s Farmer’s Convention on liquid Nano Urea, at the Convention Centre.

Addressing the gathering of farmers and agricultural scientists, he said that the biggest challenge before us today is to make fertilizers more sustainable for the future and ensure adequate nutrition.

Nano Urea enhances productivity, quality, reduces CO2 emission, and increases farmer’s profitability and is now being used by most of the farmers.

In order to meet the challenges of climate change, high farm input cost, productivity, resilience against socio-economic factors, we are implementing policies that tackle the problems and create synergies between a range of concerns and with the multiple stakeholders.

He observed that J&K’s economy is now growing quite strongly & Agri reform is the best cure for sustained growth. “Our steps are focused on enhancing productivity, competitiveness, removing disparities, diversification to higher value commodities, expansion of agro-processing and value chains.

Noting that the relationship between administration and society is changing and people & government are devising a new mechanism to work together, he stressed that farmers and officials should work together and strengthen the collaboration in order to put agri-economy on a new trajectory of growth and better implementation of reforms.
