Summary

The plan stresses that increasing production alone is not enough; quality, safety, processing, packaging, and meeting international standards are essential for higher farm incomes.

Special focus is placed on organic and chemical‑free farming, modern processing facilities, and linking farms directly to global markets through a “farm‑to‑global‑market” approach.

Separate agricultural roadmaps will be prepared for each state and district, considering local climate, soil, water, and cropping patterns, while national coordination will guide technology transfer and mechanisation.
