Government Pilots Digital Framework for Subsidised Fertilizer Sales in Erode and Sivaganga
What happened
The Union Ministry of Agriculture has introduced the ‘Framework for Fertiliser Sale (FFS) app’ to streamline the distribution of agricultural inputs. Sivaganga and Erode districts have been selected as the pilot locations for this new digital framework in Tamil Nadu. The application allows farmers to access the system using their mobile numbers and OTP verification, enabling them to generate QR-coded tokens for subsidized fertiliser purchases.
