funds have been made available for programmes aimed at raising farmers income, he said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The conference deliberated on seven themes: agriculture policy and reforms for higher and sustained farmers income; trade policy; marketing and agri-<\/p>\n
logistics; R&D and start ups in agriculture; capital investments and institutional credit; promotion of allied farm activities like dairy and poultry; and sustainable<\/p>\n
and equitable development and efficient delivery of services.<\/p>\n
