Production and productivity in Kerala’s agriculture sector will be increased as part of the government’s efforts to bring Kerala to the level of developed middle-income countries in the next 25 years, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
He was interacting with farmers and people from allied sectors at a Face-to-Face programme in Alappuzha on March 2.
Mr. Vijayan said the Kerala government was working towards increasing farmers’ income by at least 50%. “The government is taking measures to boost farmers’ income by introducing modern technologies and innovative schemes. The intervention of the cooperative sector in the farm sector will be strengthened with a focus on creating infrastructure facilities. Steps will be taken to ensure remunerative prices to farmers for their agricultural produce along with finding a market for value-added products,” Mr. Vijayan said.
