Shimla: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the state government has taken another significant step towards promoting natural farming and strengthening the rural economy by enhancing the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of naturally grown ginger from Rs. 30 to Rs. 40 per kilogram. The decision aims to ensure remunerative returns to farmers practising natural farming and encourage greater adoption of chemical-free and environment-friendly agricultural practices across the state.
The state government is implementing the flagship Rajiv Gandhi Prakritik Kheti Khushhal Kisan Yojana with the objective of promoting sustainable and chemical-free agriculture. Under this initiative, more than three lakh farmers across Himachal Pradesh have been trained in natural farming practices.
He said that the enhancement of MSP for naturally grown ginger from Rs. 30 to Rs. 40 per kilogram was another farmer-friendly initiative aimed at ensuring better financial returns to farmers and encouraging them to adopt chemical-free agricultural practices. He added that the government had consistently taken progressive decisions to safeguard the interests of farmers by providing remunerative prices for naturally grown agricultural produce.
