India: Agrochemical Sector Asks Government to Increase Funding to Agriculture
The agrochemical and pesticide sector in India has encouraged the government to enhance funding for agriculture in the upcoming budget to improve farming infrastructure in all sections of the nation and double farmers’ income, reports Krishi Jagran.
According to Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director of Insecticides India, “We anticipate this budget, which will surely focus on agriculture, as it has in previous years, as agriculture has played a critical part in these pandemic times. Increased funding for better farming infrastructure in all sections of the country are also on our wish list.”
He also stressed the importance of lowering input costs to the greatest degree possible in order to help farmers. “The crop protection industry looks forward to the government’s assistance for research and manufacturing in India,” Aggarwal said. “A better system for improved produce prices is another concern that must be addressed.”
SK Chaudhary, founder and director of Safex Chemicals, believes that the country’s agrochemical industry is growing as one of the leaders, with the potential to become a significant worldwide supply hub if better facilities are supplied.
