Pesticide Price Control on the Horizon: Minister Chouhan Seeks Relief for Farmers

Farmers may soon see relief from the rising cost of pesticides. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced that his department is exploring mechanisms to curb what he calls “indiscriminate” pricing of these essential agricultural inputs.

Chouhan’s Focus: Fair Pesticide Pricing for Farmers

Minister Chouhan understands the financial strain high pesticide prices put on farmers. He is committed to finding a solution that ensures farmers have access to the pesticides they need at prices they can afford. This move signifies a potential shift towards a more regulated and farmer-friendly pesticide market.

Potential Impact on Farmers’ Livelihoods

By addressing the issue of unregulated pesticide pricing, Minister Chouhan aims to improve the livelihoods of farmers. The initiative could lead to lower input costs, increased profitability, and greater sustainability in the agricultural sector.
