<h1>Government Scheme Supports Farmers with Free Saplings and Subsidies for Oil Palm Cultivation</h1> The state government, in partnership with the central government, has implemented a scheme promoting oil palm cultivation across multiple districts to provide farmers with sustainable income. Under this program, farmers receive free saplings, grants covering part of cultivation costs, and subsidies for related agricultural inputs and infrastructure. The initiative includes technical training and contract arrangements ensuring minimum support prices for produce, with payments made directly to farmers' bank accounts. Cultivation spans thousands of hectares, particularly in tribal areas, aiming to boost domestic palm oil production, reduce import dependence, and enhance rural livelihoods. The program also supports intercrops and irrigation facilities, with production expected to begin in the third year and continue for decades, generating significant annual income for participating farmers.
