The quality of the seed is essential for a good crop. However, not all farmers get quality certified seeds. In such a situation, the Rajasthan government is making many efforts to provide access to the farmers of the state. In this series of efforts, soybean seed production programs are being run by the state government. Through these, information related to the scheme is being given among the people.
Rajasthan government is providing incentive amount to the farmers on quality seed production. Along with this, the amount of premium being paid to farmers on seed production has been increased by Rs 500. Earlier Rs 500 per quintal was given, from now on seed production Rs 1000 per quintal will be given. That is to say, soybean growers will now get an additional amount of Rs 1000 per quintal on the MSP.
Under the scheme, private sector seed traders are being made authorized sellers of the corporation to promote seed trade. For this, the policy of slab based trade discount will be implemented on the basis of trade. Under this, the dealer who sells more seeds will be given more incentive amount. The purpose of these policies of the state government is to provide improved and certified seeds to the farmers, so that farmers can get improved crop yields.
