Manipur Launches Bioreactor Unit to Enhance Biofertilizer Production and Organic Farming
Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh inaugurated a Bioreactor Unit for biofertilizer production at the CSIR-NEIST complex in Imphal, advancing the state's efforts toward sustainable agriculture. The state has brought 400 hectares under organic cultivation, with plans to expand further. The Agriculture Department, in collaboration with Green Biotech Ecosolution, aims to supply biofertilizers to 225 paddy field sangams, promoting a 75:25 ratio of chemical to biofertilizers. Subsidized neem-coated urea distribution and outreach to remote areas support this transition, aligning with Manipur's vision to become a fully organic state and reduce chemical fertilizer use.
