0

As conventional farming income declines and farmer risks grow, the government encourages individuals to cultivate horticulture crops. On the other hand, farmers will only be ready for this if they are encouraged.

In response, the Haryana government has begun providing farmers with a 50 percent subsidy per hectare to establish new orchards. A farmer can get a grant for up to ten acres of orchard land. So that farmers may increase their profits by embracing horticulture.

According to a state government official, farmers will be paid Rs.11500 per acre for guava orchards, Rs.12000 for lemon orchards, and Rs.15000 for amla orchards. Farmers would be able to receive financial support of up to 

  • Rs.115000 for growing guava orchards
  • Rs.120000 for lemon orchards
  • Rs.150000 for gooseberry gardens.

The government will also assist with producing sapota, which is high in vitamins A and Bantioxidants, and fibre. A grant of Rs.9080 per acre would be provided for this purpose. That is, the assistance of up to Rs.90800 can be obtained. According to the government, one acre of chiku cultivation will cost Rs.8160. To take benefit, submit an online application through the Haryana Horticulture Portal.

A grant of 50% i.e. Rs.5100 per acre, would be provided. Mango orchards, on the other hand, cost Rs.10200 per acre. The grant area will be limited to 10 acres.

That is, each farmer would receive a maximum of Rs.51000 in financial support.

Farmers willing to take benefit of the scheme should contact the District Horticulture Office with their land papers, bank copy and Aadhar card. Farmers who established guava, gooseberry and lemon orchards in the fiscal year 2021 in accordance with the regulations of the Integrated Horticulture Development Mission can also apply for the grant amount.

Interested farmers can also apply online at the Haryana Government’s Horticulture Portal. Applicants must additionally register their land and crops on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora Portal.

Damage Protection Insurance

To compensate for crop losses in horticulture, the government runs a horticulture insurance program. This scheme has the potential to reduce crop costs by relieving farmers of the danger of natural disasters affecting vegetables, fruits, and spices.
