FMC India Welcomes Budget 2024-25’s Focus on Farmers, Innovation, and Growth

04 February 2025, New Delhi: FMC India has welcomed the Union Budget 2024-25, calling it a progressive and growth-oriented vision for the agricultural sector. Mr. Ravi Annavarapu, President, FMC India, praised key initiatives such as the PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana and the Six-Year Atmanirbharta Programme for Pulses, which aim to enhance productivity and benefit farmers in the long run.

The focus on climate-resilient, high-yield crops and the establishment of a Makhana Board in Bihar reflect the government’s commitment to supporting farmers amid changing climatic conditions. The integration of six crore farmers into a digital registry will improve transparency, expand access to digital agricultural services, and accelerate the adoption of precision farming techniques.

FMC India also supports the government’s push for public-private collaboration in agricultural innovation, which will help modernize the sector. Additionally, the increase in the Kisan Credit Card loan limit to ₹5 lakh will provide crucial financial support to farmers. The emphasis on developing local vegetable production and strengthening Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), cooperatives, and startups will improve supply chain efficiencies and benefit both farmers and consumers.

Mr. Annavarapu concluded that the budget lays a strong foundation for a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector. FMC India remains committed to working with the government to improve farmer livelihoods and enhance food security.
