  • The scheme involves both short-term measures (like transport and storage subsidies) and long-term interventions (like grants for integrated value chain and post-harvest infrastructure projects).
  • One of the key goals of the scheme is to prevent distress sale by farmers and improve value realization through better processing and supply chain systems.
