National agricultural policy
Quite a number of my friends and colleagues have been asking me about the progress in the formulation of the National Agricultural Policy. Well, by now the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has made good progress by floating the draft policy prepared by the Technical Working Group (TWG) in the national newspapers and on the Internet.
Appropriate opinions/comments were incorporated into the draft national agricultural policy. Now the final draft policy will be processed for official approval by the higher authorities including the Cabinet.
The meeting expressed the hope that the National Agricultural Policy will be published in the beginning of the New Year 2010.
This writer also attended the meeting as a TWG member.
