The North EasternRegional <a href="https://exam.pscnotes.com/agricultural-Marketing“>Agricultural Marketing Corporation(NERAMAC) of the Union DoNER ministry on Wednesday launched a farm linkage programme in select wards here to bring freshfarm productsdirectly to housing societies. This will serve the twin purpose of eliminating trips to markets for residents and thereby minimise the spread of infection and at the same time ensure steady business for farmers who are not able to sell their products because ofCovid curbs.

The programme was flagged off by state <a href="https://exam.pscnotes.com/Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture minister Atul Bora. While farmers are struggling to sell their produce due to early closure of markets for the ongoing lockdown, this move will enable farmers to get competitive remuneration for their products and consumers can get fresh products at a reasonable price in the safety of their housing campus.
