Indian Prime Minister: farmers are our TOP priority
What is Operation Greens? The idea behind Operation Greens is to double the income of farmers by end of 2022. It is essentially a price fixation scheme that aims to ensure farmers are given the right price for their produce.
While presenting the 2018-19 Union Budget, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley proposed to launch Operation Greens. The Indian Express explains: The operation aims to promote farmer producers organisations, agri-logistics, processing facilities and professional management. The operation should also help control and limit the erratic fluctuations in the prices of onions, potatoes and tomatoes.
