The Maharashtra government has introduced the Agristack Maharashtra Portal, aimed at streamlining access to agricultural schemes and empowering farmers. Through this initiative, every farmer in the state will receive a Farmer ID, a unique identification number akin to Aadhaar and PAN cards. This move is expected to enhance transparency and efficiency in delivering government services.

What is the Farmer ID?

The Farmer ID is a unique identifier designed to simplify farmers’ access to over 100 agricultural schemes, including the Kisan Credit Card program and Minimum Support Price (MSP) benefits. By consolidating key details such as Aadhaar numbers, bank accounts, and landholding information, the Farmer ID ensures seamless delivery of services and targeted interventions.
