The arrival of top authorities from the State Agricultural Ministry along with presence of thousands of farmers seems to be a perfect environment for demanding these allied services.
Amongst top demands include declaration of Jalgaon's Banana producing belt as Export Oriented Agro Zone, inclusion of banana in school food, and immediate stopping of load shedding in banana producing zone. The Jalgaon District holds 21% share of Nation's overall banana production and employs 60,000 farmers and labours for the same. The Railways earn Rs. 33 Crores as revenue from Banana transportation from Jalgaon. India's newly announced National Fruits and horticulture Production Development plan does not includes Jalgaon District is another hot debate issue for Jalgaonities. Surprising to note factor was that Jalgaon was in primary list of this plan and the authorities started implementation of the same and did received proposals worth Rs. 2.32 Crores and thereby demanded additional Rs. 2 Crores seeing good response. The Authorities were disappointed to see the revert reply that Jalgaon has been eliminated from the development plan.
Inclusion of Jalgaon in this plan would have enabled authorities to avail good quality seeds, cooling, tissue culture and latest technology related financial aids to Jalgaon thereby promoting overall development. Additionally announcing as development zone would lead to change of railways goods transportation category from Parcel to Goods which would result another 40% reduction in logistics.
