Yogi Government Launches Major Overhaul of Agricultural Storage Infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh
There are plans to build warehouses that can hold 500–1,000 metric tons.
Twenty-four multipurpose primary agricultural cooperative societies (PACS) are involved in the development of these warehouses.
The initiative is expected to benefit 16 districts in Uttar Pradesh.
Jhansi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Kanpur Nagar, Maharajganj, Barabanki, Sultanpur, Amethi, Bahraich, Rae Bareli, Etah, Mathura, Farrukhabad, and Kushinagar are among the districts.
Farmers will have more contemporary and reliable options to store their produce for extended periods of time thanks to the new storage facilities.
Helping Farmers Get Better Prices by Avoiding Distress Sales
Reducing Distress Sales: Empowering Farmers to Wait for Better Market Prices
Farmers can wait for advantageous market conditions and obtain higher prices by lowering the need for distress sales.
Additionally, these warehouses will serve as distribution centers for necessities and agricultural products.
The infrastructure seeks to increase the agricultural supply chain’s efficiency and transparency.
It is anticipated that the initiative will lessen the role of intermediaries, guaranteeing farmers more equitable returns.
The plan is a crucial component of Uttar Pradesh’s agricultural development strategy.
It is also intended to increase farmers’ access to markets and enhance rural supply networks.
