Farmers in Himachal Pradesh expressed disappointment today as their key demands of 100 per cent duty on Apple imports and G.S.T. exemption to farm inputs were not addressed in the Union Budget for 2024-25.
Fruit Vegetable Flower Growers Association President Harish Chauhan said that hopes of farmers of Himachal Pradesh have been dashed as their main demand of 100 per cent import duty on apples to check import of cheap apples has not been addressed in the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
“We have been demanding exemption in G.S.T. on farm inputs and equipment but nothing has been done in this regard,” Harish Chauhan said in a video message.
