Meghalaya government is working to create an ecosystem that enables agriculture and its value-added products to thrive. One of such initiatives is CM-ASSURE, under which Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma flagged off a consignment of 1,700 metric tons of broomgrass from Khlieh Umsten in Ri Bhoi district on Friday.
The Farmers’ Front of the ruling National People’s Party (NPP) has urged the Meghalaya government to review the pricing of broomstick, take immediate steps to control the spread of bud rot disease affecting arecanut plantations, and increase awareness of the CM ASSURE scheme among farmers.
The state Cabinet on Friday has approved the CM ASSURE scheme, a targeted market intervention initiative focused exclusively on non-perishable commodities
