Manipur Food Processing Industry Policy

1. Increased Irrigation through Narmada:

Narmada project on completion will irrigate additional 18 lakh hectares of land. This will change the crop profile of the State by encouraging farmers to cultivate high value crop with increased productivity. Consistent and ' abundant availability of raw material will attract substantial investment in Agro Processing Industries.

2. Micro Irrigation :

It is well known that use of drip not only results in saving in the use of water per crop and per acre, but also increases the yield substantially by providing measured quantity of water, fertilizer and pesticide at the targeted root zone. The saving in water can be used to cover additional acreage. The Government will provide encouragement to the farmers to use drip irrigation technology with proper agronomic practices. Already a project to cover 12000 hectares of land under drip irrigation with integrated crop and water management practices is under implementation.
