Committee. Once approved, it will be launched by July,” said Jagdish Prasad

The ministry has circulated a note to agriculture ministry, finance ministry, Niti Aayog and commerce ministry. There are suggestions on factoring in seasonal and regional variation in production, bringing non-traditional area under TOP farming, and linking cultivation to primary processing.
The pattern of assistance has been proposed that 50% of the eligible project cost will be given, subject to a maximum of Rs 50 crore per project. Preference would be given to states that have implemented APMC reforms.
