Jaipur, Rajasthan is set to introduce a new fertilizer booking and distribution system aimed at reducing long queues and increasing transparency. The initiative, based on the Farmer Fertiliser System (FFS) pilot, will allow farmers to book necessary fertilizers like urea and DAP through mobile phones, applications, or dealers. The government plans to extend this to door-to-door delivery of fertilizer based on landholding, crop, and requirement.
Under the pilot, 8.31 lakh farmers generated QR codes, with 1.20 lakh tonnes of fertilizer distributed. The Agriculture Minister, Dr. Kirori Lal, is collecting feedback for improvements, including offline options for less tech-savvy farmers. A special campaign to create farmer IDs is underway from September 1 to 30 to streamline agriculture services.
