Satellite survey to map crop types & boost yield
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|July 23, 2025
IN a significant push to modernise agriculture, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has instructed officials to conduct a detailed satellite survey to map crop types across all survey numbers in the State.
IN a significant boost for Totapuri mango farmers in Andhra Pradesh, the Centre has green-lit the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) following a proactive request from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
The Centre's approval, communicated via a letter dated July 20, 2025, to the Special Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Department, promises much-needed support to growers grappling with plummeting market prices.
Under this initiative, 1.62 lakh metric tonnes of Totapuri mangoes will be procured at a support price of ₹1,493.73 per quintal, with the financial burden shared equally between the Centre and the State, offering a lifeline to distressed farmers.
Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani took to X to express deep gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Chouhan for endorsing a Price Deficiency Payment (PDP) scheme within the MIS framework for the 2025-26 season.
The scheme, detailed in the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare's documentation, covers 1.62 lakh metric tonnes, and establishes a Minimum Intervention Price (MIP) of ₹1,493.73 per quintal, with a maximum support of ₹372.68.
The cost-sharing model, split 50:50 between the Centre and the State, includes direct benefit transfer (DBT) to farmers to mitigate price falls.
