Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan has convened an important review meeting focused on safeguarding the interests of the Indian agricultural sector and its farmers amidst current global instability, and ensuring strategic preparedness for the upcoming Kharif season.
He directed the officials to play a proactive role during times of crisis.
The minister issued instructions and directed officials to take strict action against those engaging in the black marketing of fertilisers and seeds.
The meeting reviewed the availability of agro-chemicals and the essential gases required for 'Drying Seed'.
The minister also emphasised that there should be no shortage of packaging materials, particularly for milk and other agricultural products, amidst the global crisis. To ensure this, he also issued directives to coordinate with the Ministry of Petroleum and other relevant departments.
As per the Ministry, a 'Special Cell' has been established for round-the-clock monitoring of the agricultural sector. This cell will submit a weekly report to the Union Agriculture Minister regarding the availability of fertilisers, seeds and pesticides.
