Kathmandu. Minister for Agriculture, Forest and Environment Gita Chaudhary has stated that the government is working with priority on the soil improvement plan. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, she informed that the soil improvement plan has been advanced to increase agricultural production. Minister Chaudhary said that along with the soil improvement plan, the government has also prioritized plans for farmer registration and digital marketplace construction to connect agriculture production, marketing, and business. She stated that the government has put forward this plan to increase the use of land for agricultural production by stopping the concretization happening on fertile land. She mentioned that action plans are being formulated by emphasizing the use of biological and organic matter to improve soil quality. Pointing out that the pH level of Nepal's soil is decreasing, she highlighted the need to move towards biological, organic, and sustainable agriculture systems for the long-term conservation of soil fertility. She said that the government has given special priority to farmer registration and that it will be easy to manage the details of the products they produce through farmer identity cards. She also informed that plans to develop applications and build marketplaces to connect production with the market have been advanced. Minister Chaudhary said, "Farmer registration is being advanced with very high priority. "Through farmer registration, the identity card that farmers receive will have details of everything," she said, "It will be easy for us to track." She stated that bridges are being built to understand what kind of products farmers will bring and how they can be supported. She mentioned that action plans are being formulated and that all previous plans and procedures are being re-analyzed to make them more effective. She informed that plans to develop applications and build marketplaces along with farmer registration have been advanced and are currently under construction. "We will use organic biological substances especially for the soil improvement plan," she said, "We are working by creating an action plan for it." She stated that research by institutes has found that the soil's pH level has already decreased. "It doesn't take long to spoil the soil," she added, "but it can take decades to improve it."
