Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development Mahindra Raya Yadav on Wednesday said that farmers should be given the right to determine the value of their products so that middlemen in agriculture wouldn't be discouraged.
Yadav pledged the government would provide subsidies equally to big and small scale entrepreneurs which also helps in attracting farmers.
On the occasion of the 17th National Coffee Day, an event organized by the National Tea and Coffee Development Board, Yadav said, “ Our country has great potential for coffee farming.“
The Minister pointed out the need for coordination among the local and provincial levels and stakeholders to provide compensations for crops damaged due to disasters. Yadav also underscored coordination at the rural municipality level to effectively implement the management of insurance of agricultural crops.
