The main goal is to help farmers in Gujarat reduce the amount of horticultural crops that get spoiled after harvesting. This is done by giving them financial aid to build storage facilities and buy sorting and grading equipment right on their farms.

If you're building on-farm infrastructure, the scheme offers financial assistance that is 50% of the total unit cost. However, this is capped at ₹1,50,000 per unit. You'll receive whichever amount is less.

You'll need your 7/12 Certificate to prove land ownership, your Aadhaar Card for identity, and either your bank passbook or a cancelled cheque so the government can send you the money directly.

No, you must be a resident of Gujarat to be eligible for this scheme. You also need to be an active farmer.

You can apply online through the official iKhedut portal. Just fill out the application form and upload the required documents.

For purchasing machinery or equipment like sorters and graders, the scheme provides financial aid that covers 50% of the actual cost. This benefit is limited to a maximum of ₹50,000 per unit. You'll get the lesser of the two amounts.

The scheme details provided do not mention any specific income limit for farmers to apply. As long as you meet the other criteria, you can be considered.

This scheme is designed to tackle the issue of post-harvest losses in horticultural crops. By helping farmers set up storage and sorting facilities on their farms, it ensures that produce remains in good condition and retains its market value for longer.
