It is not all of it, but a design for Goa's future Agriculture Policy has
been detailed in GOA SU-RAJ PARTY'S ROAD MAP FOR GOA. www.goasu-raj.org
Incidentally, I have grown out of rice fields and vegetable gardens on
commercial scale. My family's sustenance was mostly agriculture. I am proud
to say that I have sold home grown vegetables in both Aldona as well as
Mapusa markets at times when my mom was indisposed. I have experienced
back-breaking agriculture.
During the Onion season, heavy cargo trucks that we never saw during the
year use to park in our ward [ Holy Cross Chapel- Pirazona] load Onions from
all local families. It used to be a whole day affair when every house-hold
who grew onions ( which was practically everyone) poured their load at this
venew in an orderly manner, professionally weighed on a large weighing scale
set up and it used to be fun.
Those are the days which are gone forever but hope to return in a different
(machanized) form after Goa's POLITICAL REVOLUTION in 2017 when our GOA's
prided Institutions, the COMUNIDADES will be reverted back absolutely in
their full original form ( autonomy) throwing out every Act and amendment
made to it's CODE illegally by these Indianized rascals out of the window,
especially the BANDODKAR's Tenancy Act.

for kind favour of publication
Goa's New Agriculture Policy
Goa's new government's agriculture policy is yet to be unveiled in its
details although we now know enough for farmers to be able to look forward
to a targeted growth of 6% per year which is something worth applauding and
so they are eagerly awaiting more details on the subject. Meanwhile, please
allow me to contribute my two yen worth of suggestions towards this very
complicated but necessary endeavor as it could become a small step in the
right direction of making Goa self-reliant in food.
As the truism goes — we are what we eat — and so, let's eat right!
