What happened: agricultural roadmap for the Kota–Jhalawar region
The Ministry of Rural Development announced preparation of an agricultural roadmap for the Kota–Jhalawar region. The roadmap is intended to improve farmers’ incomes across the agriculture value chain, covering decisions from crop selection to sale beyond local markets.
The announced approach focuses on the entire value chain — including:
- new crops - processing - marketing - exports
The stated objective is increasing farmers’ incomes from the farm gate to global markets by connecting production with downstream market access.
