Participating buyers appreciated the initiative of the department which will provide an exclusive opportunity to interact directly with the growers/farmers. Speaking on the occasion, Atal Dulloo appreciated the initiative of the HP&M department for conducting such events and accentuated the fact that these help understand our weaknesses and strengths which ultimately helps in providing better business environment. He said that the government has launched a holistic agriculture development programme in J&K. The conceptualization, formulation and approval of the massive transformative mission to reform agriculture and allied sectors in J&K was finalized and translated on ground in just 5 months of time, he added. Pertinently, the humongous exercise began with the constitution of Apex Committee under the Chairmanship of Mangla Rai by the Lieutenant Governor and culminated with the finalization of transformative mission for holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors in J&K with the potential to transform the subsistence agriculture of J&K into sustainable commercial agri-economy.
Atat Duloo said the approved plan comprising 29 project proposals shall push agriculture and allied sectors to a new trajectory of growth with economy, ecology and equity as its guiding pillars, he shared.
He also announced that the government has taken up the task of providing GI tagging to another 20-25 products that will give us an edge in the international markets. Besides, a high-level committee has been set up to take steps for export promotion of our significant products.
ACS appreciated the efforts and achievements of the department in e-NAM Trade and informed that the UT has achieved pivotal position in Inter-state e-NAM trade in a very short span of 3 months. He underscored the importance of encouraging processing to garner better returns and hoped that the buyers would evince keen interest in the unique and high-quality produce of J&K.

The unified licensing has been approved as also the declaration of CA stores/warehouses/stores of FPOs/Cooperatives as sub-yards of Mandis for undergoing trade on e-NAM. He said the HP&M has moved towards transparent e-auction system for allocation of space in mandis and e-NAM trade has increased from a less than Rs 1 crore to over Rs 23 crore in a span of 3-4 months, besides taking lead at the national level in inter-state e-NAM Trade.
Director HP&M, Vikas Sharma, advised the participants to make the best use of the platform provided in this buyer seller meet. He hoped that this initiative will help empower our farmers/growers in order to realize maximum dividends.
