the country by FY22," the minister said at a conference organised by Crop

The minister said the government is
implementing several programmes to develop the agricultural sector and improve
the economic condition of farmers. "Issues such as reducing cost of
production, ensuring remunerative price for farmers' produce, stopping wastage
and ensuring alternative sources of income are being addressed in mission
mode," he added.
The minister said if the government, the
industry and farmers work together then many challenges can be overcome. "The
government has been working with the industry to help farmers confront the
challenges facing them, however, there is a need to expedite the support,"
he added.

Agriculture Ministry has been increased to Rs 2,11,694 crore during 2014-19, to
