The National Digital and Precision Agriculture Advisory Services (NDPAAS) appears to focus on enhancing the agricultural value chain, particularly at the upper levels, through the adoption of efficient and improved production technologies. Key areas of their interventions include:
- Value Chain Development: Emphasis on improving production technologies and ensuring timely, profitable farm operations to intensify farm productivity.
- Water for Production: Focus on climate-resilient systems to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change by providing water solutions for production.
- Purchase of Specialized Agro Machinery & Equipment: This includes support in the following:
- Household irrigation systems for enhanced water use in farming.
- Tractors and matching implements to promote agricultural mechanization.
- Value addition equipment for processing fruits like mangoes, citrus, and pineapples, both at small and medium scale.
- Grain milling machinery to increase processing capacities.
- Milk cooling and generator systems for dairy value chain enhancement.
These initiatives focus on increasing the efficiency of farming operations, value addition, and resilience against climate challenges. This comprehensive approach should contribute to increased profitability and sustainability for farmers, aligning with NDPAAS’s wealth creation goals.
