Govt may provide DBT to onion farmers for procurement.
Apr 09, 2024

The union government is planning to directly transfer payments to farmers for purchases of shallots by procurement agencies, an official said.
The move for direct benefit transfer (DBT) is aimed at cutting off middlemen. The government currently provides a DBT of Rs.6,000 per farmer annually under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. However, there is no data on how farmers are paid for the produce procured from them.
