Maharashtra eases Farmer ID, crop inspection process

Maharashtra has simplified Farmer ID registration under Agristack, allowing land record verification by Talathi, Mandal Officer, and Tehsildar. An alternate crop inspection process via 'e-Ferfar' is introduced where online Kharif registration is difficult. The measures aim to benefit around 70 lakh farmers, ensuring access to subsidies, crop loans, insurance, and digital agriculture services.
