MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

क ृ षि एवं षकसान कल्याण मंत्री (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a): The  state-wise  details  of  biofertilizers/biopesticides  production  units  under  the National Project of Organic Farming through NABARD is given at Annexure -I .
- (b) & (c): Yes, it is a fact that, there were 3.88 million tonnes of organic fertilizers in 2020-21, a steep decline from the 338.72 million tonnes in 2017-18. The steep decline in production of organic fertilizers could be attributed to Covid Pandemic.
- (d): Bio-fertilizers are promoted through Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and are made integral part of package of practices developed by ICAR and State Agriculture Universities. The ICAR also imparts training to educate farmers on use of bio-fertilizers.

Under  Paramparagat  Krishi  Vikash  Yojana  (PKVY),  farmers  are  provided financial assistance of Rs 31000/ ha for 3 years through DBT for on-farm and off-farm organic inputs including bio-fertilizer. Under Mission Organic Value Chain Development for  North  Eastern  Region  (MOVCDNER),  financial  assistance  @  Rs  32500/  ha  for  3 years is provided to farmers for off farm /on -farm organic inputs including bio-fertilizer. Moreover, under National Food Security Mission (NFSM), provision has been made to provide  assistance  for  supply  of  Bio-Fertilizer  @  Rs.300  /ha  or  50%  of  the  cost whichever is less.
