NEW DELHI, JULY 21, 2025: UNION Minister of Agriculture, Farmers' Welfare, and Rural Development, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, yesterday met groundnut farmers during his visit to Gujarat. He visited groundnut fields in Manekvada village of Junagadh and interacted with farmers to gather information from them. The Union Minister also joined the farmers in the field and participated in the weeding and hoeing of groundnut crops.

During the conversation, Chouhan discussed in detail the improved varieties of groundnut, seed quality, fertilisers being used, and production techniques. The farmers informed him about the seasonal challenges in groundnut cultivation, market prices, and irrigation-related issues.

The Union Agriculture Minister took special interest in Gujarat's prominent and improved groundnut variety - 'Girnar-4' - and sought detailed information about it from officials. He also inspected drones and other modern agricultural equipment available in the field and took feedback from farmers on their effectiveness and utility.

Appreciating the hard work of the farmers, Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, "Our food providers play an invaluable role in ensuring the country's food security. The government stands with farmers at every level and is fully committed to addressing their concerns."
