Horticulture crops are cultivated in a growing state such as Bihar, Maa, Lichi and Banana. At the same time, the government has decided to subsidize the cultivation of these crops. Under the State Integrated Horticulture Development Scheme, the agriculture sector will provide subsidy to farmers who want to cultivate mango, lichie, papaya and banana in the horticulture sector. Subsidy is provided in horticultural crops under the scheme. At the same time, the government is going to provide an 80 per cent subsidy to farmers who accept micro -irrigation techniques such as drops and sprayers.
There will be so much subsidy on cultivation of these fruits
According to Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, farmers are encouraged to cultivate fruit trees under the Integrated Horticulture Development Service in the state. At the same time, it has been decided to provide up to 50 per cent subsidy for farmers for mangoes and lichi cultivation under this scheme. In addition, up to 75 per cent of bananas and papaya has been confirmed. The Minister of Agriculture says that through this scheme, the horticulture sector will be expanded in the state and farmers will benefit more than fruit cultivation.

The government subsidizes irrigation
Under the Prime Minister’s Agricultural Irrigation Scheme, the Minister of Agriculture said that up to 80 per cent of farmers who accept micro -irrigation techniques such as drops and sprayers are subsidized. This technique not only increases the efficiency of water use, but also increases the quality and productivity of the crop. The Prime Minister’s Agricultural Irrigation Scheme will reduce agricultural costs and benefit more. He added that the purpose of these two projects is not only to increase production, but also to double the income of the farmers, promote self -employment in rural areas and combine unemployed youth with modern agricultural practices.

Cost of fruit cultivation

At the same time, the cost of cultivation of bananas and papaya is 60 thousand rupees per hectare, which has a 75 per cent subsidy for farmers.
Horticulture becomes prosperous farmers
Horticulture is becoming a great medium for financially improving farmers, said the Minister of Agriculture. Farmers have more benefits from growing fruit trees than traditional crops. Continuous demand for fruit, excellent value and the possibilities of processing in the market convert horticulture into income source. With these efforts, Bihar will be transformed into a leading state in the production and export sector. This action can be helpful to bring about positive changes in the lives of farmers.
