Benefits
Increasing production by establishing new orchards.
Fruit plants are provided at a subsidy of 50% of the total cost.
For developing orchards, fruit plants such as mango, guava, pomegranate, apple, litchi, plum, peach, apricot, walnut, citrus, malta, kiwi, dragon fruit, etc., are provided to farmers. (For example, if a walnut plant costs ₹400/-, the farmer has to deposit ₹200/- at the concerned Horticulture Mobile team Centre, and the government bears the remaining ₹200/- as subsidy, so the farmer receives the plant for ₹200/-.)
