CM Advocates for Adjustment of Crop Cultivation Strategies in Response to El Niño Conditions

The Chief Minister has emphasized the importance of crop diversification and a significant transition towards natural farming practices. In particular, the government is promoting the cultivation of pulses, which are currently in high demand in the market. This initiative aims to enhance agricultural sustainability, improve farmers income, and meet consumer needs for healthier food options.

Crop diversification involves growing a variety of crops rather than relying on a single staple, which can help reduce risks associated with market fluctuations and climate change. Natural farming, characterized by the minimal use of synthetic inputs, focuses on building healthy soil and promoting biodiversity.

To support this shift, the government is expected to implement various programs, including training sessions for farmers, financial assistance for adopting new practices, and creating supply chain networks to ensure better market access for pulse crops. This strategy aligns with broader agricultural policy goals aimed at boosting economic resilience and food security in the region.
