The focus points for agriculture in the state of Goa are PM Kisan Samman Scheme, Kisan Credit Card, Farmer Producer Organisation and Agriculture Infrastructure Fund.
    The Minister assured that the tenant issue under PM Kisan Samman Schemes would be resolved at the earliest.
    Besides, the Agriculture Infrastructure fund, which provides a long term debt financing facility for investment in viable projects for post-harvest management Infrastructure and community farming assets through interest subvention and financial support, should be taken up in a better way in the state of Goa. Farmer Produce Organisations and individuals, among others, can benefit under AIF, and Goa should make maximum use of this fund.
    The Minister also suggested that Goa may put digital technologies into use to provide updated crop production-related know-how, arrange critical agricultural inputs, primary soil and seed testing facilities, and arrange interface with the public and private sector. MGNREGA fund also may be put to good use.
    It was decided that Digital methods for Crop Survey to be put in place soon to survey the loss suffered by the farmers during the flood, drought, etc. The technology is developed now, and farmers can themselves click photos of the field/loss suffered, upload it on the app.
