Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has said the government is focusing on farm mechanisation and asked the industry to provide small machines and equipment to farmers with less landholding to boost their income.
He highlighted the government's target to double farm mechanization per hectare in 10 years and said it was only possible with the support from industry. The minister said the government's emphasis is on providing large advanced agricultural equipment to farmers for their field.
Tomar urged the members of the Tractor and Mechanization Association to provide small utility machines to small acreage farmers, so that 86 per cent of these farmers can acquire machines easily and their income can increase.
