GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel has kicked-off the state-wide Krishi Mahotsav from Anand district today. While addressing huge gathering she said that it is my dream to visualize the farmer of Gujarat as ‘Global Farmer’. It is my willingness to observe the scenario that agriculture products cultivated by the farmers on the land of Gujarat to be sold in global market.With a commitment to provide an impetus to the development of farmers, Gujarat government under the leadership of the first woman chief minister of the state, Anandiben Patel has announced a comprehensive “Agro Business Policy 2016-21”. Under this policy, by developing agricultural clusters, the whole value chain from the farm to foreign countries will be strengthened. Novel efforts would be made for more value addition to agricultural waste; which would prevent wastage of agricultural produce and also provide additional income to the farmers. the agro food processing sector, Gujarat’s “Amul” is the most successful model in the whole world. Moreover, over 10 lakh people are provided employment by the 30 thousand food processing units present in the state. Under this new policy, many new opportunities for employment will be generated for rural youth and women due to the progress of Agricultural industries.
