Efforts on to substitute wheat and paddy crops with other market-driven crops

Madhya Pradesh government launched a crop diversification promotion scheme with focus on natural farming and on substituting wheat and paddy crops with other crops that are suitable for local climate and are market driven.

The crop diversification scheme has been launched for three years starting the current financial year (2022-23), to encourage demand-based crop diversification, keeping in mind the economic welfare of the farmers, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Wednesday.

He said work has started in the state by selecting areas for natural farming on a pilot basis. Two proposals for natural farming were cleared by the cabinet committee for industrial promotion (CCIP) on Wednesday. If other concrete proposals are received, the government will not delay their approval, the CM said.

Chouhan said Madhya Pradesh is moving ahead faster in the field of crop diversification compared to other states and if farmers start taking interest, promotion of natural farming will be easier.

The CM said instead of paddy and wheat – two major crops of the state – focus is on growing other crops through natural farming techniques. Attention is being given to ensure that the cropping area of soybean – one of the important cash crops in the state – does not go down and paddy and wheat are substituted instead, he added.
