- Apple growers in the Kashmir Valley are facing unprecedented losses.
- The Union government has now announced that it will procure apples directly from the growers and that money will be transferred directly to their accounts.
- Under a special Market Intervention Scheme (MIS), National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED) will make the purchase.
- Due to government-enforced security clampdown, growers have been unable to transport their produce to markets.
About
- MIS is implemented by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation.
- All the agricultural and horticultural commodities for which Minimum Support Price (MSP) are “not fixed” and are generally perishable in nature are covered under MIS.
