GK and monthly revision
Government links fertiliser sales to farmer, land and crop data
The government is expanding its fertilizer management system by linking sales directly to farmer, land, and crop data through the AgriStack platform. This integration covers millions of buyers and significant annual fertilizer sales, enabling purchases to be matched with verified land records. Farmers can now book fertilizers using their AgriStack ID after land detail verification, aiming to prevent diversion and ensure targeted subsidy delivery. This digital reform is significant for exams as it reflects the government's push for technology-driven agricultural governance and subsidy rationalization.
