2. हाइड्रोपोनिक तकनीक से खेती करने पर हर वर्ष होती है निवेश से दुगनी कमाई।

आधुनिक युग में खेती का विस्तार गांव से शहर की तरफ होना भी है, आज शहरों में लोग अपने घर की छतों पर, पार्किंग एरिया में या जहां भी खाली जमीन मिल जाए खेती कर रहें है। आपको शायद असमंजस हो की ये कैसे मुमकिन है, तो आपको बिना मिट्टी के खेती की ऐसी तकनीक है जिसमें सिर्फ 200 वर्ग फुट जगह पर आसानी से फल - सब्जियां उगा सकते हैं। हाइड्रोपोनिक नामक इस तकनीक द्वारा पौधों को देने वाले जरूरी पोषक तत्वों को पानी की सहायता से सीधे पौधों की जड़ों तक पहुंचाया जाता है।

अगर आप इस तकनीक से फल या सब्जी उगाते है तो पैदावार 3 से 5 गुना अधिक होती है और उसकी कीमत बाज़ार में अधिक मिलती है साथ ही पानी , फर्टिलाइजर और कीटनाशक की खपत भी 50 से 80 फीसद तक कम लगने के कारण यह खर्चा भी कम हो जाता है। इसलिए आप इस तकनीक के लिए एक बार का 1 लाख रुपए का निवेश कर सालाना 2 लाख रुपए कमा सकते है। वैसे तो इस सिस्टम का खर्च वन टाइम है पर शेड के रखरखाव का खर्च लागत को बढ़ा सकता है। अच्छी उपज के लिए फसल पर तापमान, कीट जैसी कई बातों का भी प्रभाव पड़ सकता है ऐसी बातों की जानकारी आवश्यक है। इसी प्रकार अगर आप बाज़ार में मांग व कीमत की जानकारी रखते है तो यह व्यवसाय बहुत लाभदायक है।

6. Niti Aayog panel recommends linking sugarcane prices to sugar rates

Sugarcane is a cash crop that requires large amounts of water and land to cultivate and it is accredited to make India the second-largest producer of sugar.  

A Niti Aayog task force has said that the linking sugarcane prices to sugar rates will keep the industry in sound financial health. It also recommended a one-time increase in minimum sugar price to Rs 33 per kilo to help sugar mills cover the cost of production.

The report said that the Revenue Sharing Formula (RSF) must be introduced, with a Price Stabilisation Fund to protect farmers from receiving prices below the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP). 

The task force noted that due to stagnation and declining sugar prices, the liquidity position of the mills has remained a major cause for concern, prompting the government to come out with various liquidity support measures from time to time.

It is proposed to impose taxes on sugar at Rs 50 per quintal for a period of 3 years, during which about Rs 4,500 crore would be added to the fund. Sugarcane and sugar play a significant role in the economy of India. India is an exporter of Sugarcane and also Sugar is the country's second-largest agro-based industry. The average annual production of sugarcane is around 35.5 crore tonnes which are used to produce around 3 crore tonnes of sugar.
