The government has launched three agri-portals to bring more transparency and accountability thereby helping the farming community. This step will also make the process of organic farming certification, fertilizers’ quality checking and issuance of soil health cards, more transparent and accountable. These portals, launched only in English, will be made available in regional languages also in the next phase for the benefit of farmers.
To improve soil health of farm land, the portal has been developed for registration of soil samples, recording test results of samples and generation of soil health card along with fertilizer recommendations while to ensure that quality fertilizers are sold to farmers, the portal has been developed for processing of fertilizer samples, testing and generation of reports.
Further, to develop domestic organic market, the portal will enable small and marginal farmers to have easy access to organic certification and promote transparency in certification process.
