Bankers urged to promote farm mechanisation

Bankers urged to promote farm mechanisation

In Nellore, the District Collector had a meeting with bankers.

He told them to give more loans to farmers for buying machines like tractors and drones.

This is because finding workers for farming is hard and expensive.

The government wants farming to be more profitable.

The Collector also said bankers should lend money for things like animal farms and fisheries because these are businesses that can pay back loans easily.

He told agriculture officials to help farmers understand these options.

The Chief Minister is very interested in this issue.
