New GST Rates Will Prove To Be A Boon For Farmers

08 September 2025, New Delhi: The new GST rates and slabs will have a wide-scale impact on the agriculture sector. This will especially benefit small and medium farmers, due to reduced GST rates on agricultural equipment, the cost of agriculture will decrease and farmers’ profits will increase. This view was expressed by Union Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Mr. Shivraj Singh Chouhan in a press conference held in Bhopal today.

Mr. Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that GST on bio-pesticides and micro-nutrients has been reduced, which will benefit farmers. Also, the trend of farmers towards bio-fertilizers from chemical fertilizers will definitely increase. In the dairy sector, there will now be no GST on milk and cheese. This will not only benefit the common man, but farmers, cattle breeders and milk producers will also benefit.

Today is the great festival of Anant Chaturdashi and we will bid farewell to Ganpati Bappa. My prayer to him is that happiness, prosperity and prosperity should come in the lives of the people of the country.

The lives of the people should become better. For this, the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is constantly making efforts.

The government and the Prime Minister are trying to ensure that there are no difficulties in the life of the common man. From the ramparts of the Red Fort, he had told the country that next generation reforms will be brought in GST and those reforms will bring great relief to the people.

As a farmer and Agriculture Minister, I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Our resolution is to reduce the cost of production in agriculture and increase production. If production increases and cost decreases, then the farmer’s profit in farming will increase.

If we look at the reforms that have been made in GST, then the farmers of the country are going to get great benefits from them. Some companies have started it. The reduction of GST to 5% on agricultural equipment, be it tractor, harvester, rotavator, of different types, will prove to be a boon for the farmers.

The size of the landholdings of the farmers of our country is small. That is why we are trying to integrate farming, which means that the farmer should be involved in farming and do some other work of the allied sector.
