A.9. Measures and suggestions to tackle the issues
- The Kelker Committee suggested converting subsidies into capital investments and gradually eliminating them.
- Stopping subsidies that aren’t producing the desired results will help to rationalise subsidies.
- Long-term policies on export commerce are required to preserve continuity and maintain farmers’ alignment with exports.
- Encouraging financial inclusion activities in rural areas.
- Building warehouses and cold storage facilities close to the farm gate.
- The agri-sector is being developed holistically by fortifying backwards and forward connections.
- There should be a time limit on subsidies.
- encouraging programmes like cooperative and contract farming to make agriculture profitable.
- The agricultural laws should be properly executed since they are a good step toward giving farmers more authority and diminishing APMC markets‘ monopoly.
- The security of both food and nutrition should be a government priority.
- Constructing a system for market information to include price and demand projections that assist farmers in improved price realisation and assist farmers in selecting the crop.
