The spokesperson added that this year, farmers will be exempt from irrigation fees and fixed taxes. To protect farmers from market pressures and weather issues, four months of free storage will be provided.

The government has also decided to implement the Electronic Warehousing Receipt (EWR) system. Farmers storing wheat will receive an electronic receipt, which can be used to obtain a loan of up to 70% of the total cost from a bank within 24 hours.
