Uttar Pradesh is the largest potato manufacturer in the country. The dual crop of potatoes is produced here in many districts including Kannaj and Farukabad. In such a situation, Uttar Pradesh farmers are going to get more benefits of this pilot program. In fact, the central government plans to export vegetables and fruits to other countries as a pilot project. Potatoes are also included in these vegetables and potatoes are produced in large areas of Uttar Pradesh. Usually, a lot of potatoes are cultivated in almost all districts of Uttar Pradesh, but in terms of business, Kanj, Farugabad, Agra, Firosabad, Mathura, Aligarh, Meerut, Bulandshahar, Bareilly, Lucknow and Parabangi are the main production districts of the state. Uttar Pradesh produces 25.48 metric tonnes of potatoes per hectare.
The Yogi government took a big move to the farmers
It is noteworthy that the National Potato Research Center is located in Shimla. Only two regional centers are in Meerut and Patna. So, through them, there is difficulty in reaching the laboratory from the research and novelty laboratory in this field, and it takes time. The lack of seeds of progressive organisms during the sowing season is common. Therefore, it is a compulsion to sow a farmer who holds the potatoes in cold storage every year. The Yogi government is going to find an effective and permanent solution to this problem of farmers.
Power to bring potatoes to foreign market
The process of opening the Peru (Lima) branch of the International Potato Research Institute is underway in Agra, in which the maximum potatoes are cultivated in circles and the districts involved in them. Millions of potato growing farmers will benefit from research and innovations.
The establishment of CIP Agra will benefit all-beld states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal and South Asia. From these centers, farmers can get the best quality potato seeds. It will produce more potatoes, and farmers will get the benefit of the advanced quality of the crop in the form of increased income.
UP based on potato production Number 1 in the country
Potato productivity and processing varieties are formed in the center. The lack of potato seeds will also be overcome. Farmers will have the opportunity to learn new ways of potato cultivation. In terms of potato production, the country is number one. However, West Bengal is second, which is in front of a hectare production.
The senior vegetable scientist told the benefits
According to Dr. SP Singh, senior vegetable scientist of Gorakhpur’s Krishi Vijian Kendra, these centers will learn the highest temperature tolerant and high yielding organisms. If the seeds are available during the sowing season, they will place creatures according to the needs of the market. This will increase their income. They know which species is best for the main and next crop.
For example, the amount of sugar in Kufri Nilgant is low, but the availability of seeds is a big problem. There is also a crisis for the availability of Kufri Shur Ria, which is a type of Kufri fame and is useful for processing in 60 to 65 days. Research institutions can be helpful to eliminate this problem.
A lot of opportunity to increase yields
Although the agricultural climate has an important role in the production of a crop, the availability of the best species and modern technology cannot be ignored. Through these, many countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and New Zealand produce 38 to 44 metric tonnes of potatoes per hectare. There is still a lot of chance to increase yields through the new technology of new species and the new shottikandra. The government is doing this job, as it is a high -populous state, and its requirements for exports.
Potato nutrients
Potatoes are important in terms of nutrition. It contains carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamin C, B6, potassium, magnesium, fiber, all essential for the body. For example, carbohydrate is the primary source of energy.
Because vitamin C is a good source, it increases immunity. Potassium helps to control blood pressure. Magnesium is essential for bones and muscle health. The fiber makes it digesting. Similarly, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese, calcium and other minerals are found in potatoes. All of this is useful for the body.
