A new agricultural strategy is propelling Jharkhand towards becoming a key global supplier of lac. The Minister of Agriculture has unveiled plans to elevate lac production as a cornerstone of the state’s economy, aiming to create a prominent identity for Jharkhand in this niche market. The comprehensive approach will support farmers with better techniques and access to markets, thereby enhancing their economic standing. This focus on lac signifies an effort to diversify agricultural income streams and promote high-value crops. With potential for significant export earnings, this initiative promises to boost rural economies and solidify Jharkhand’s position in the global agricultural trade. Investment in research and development for lac cultivation is also a key component.
