Potato, brother, is a vegetable that is found in every corner of the world. Boil, boil, fry or eat it, it is useful in every way. Vegetable and kitchen cannot be imagined without potatoes. It is also in the form of chips, papad and salty. Moreover, it also makes vodka and ethanol! Due to being cheaper and full year, it is different than other vegetables. Due to all these qualities, potatoes are called the king of vegetables. Now the Yogi government is preparing to increase the pride of this king. The International Aloo Research Center in Agra and the excellence centers opening in Saharanpur and Kushinagar will become weapons for this.

UP is number one in producing potatoes!
Uttar Pradesh is number one in the whole country in producing potatoes. More than one third of the potato in the country, more than one third (about 35 percent) is in UP. Here the yield is also more than the rest of the country, about 23 to 25 tonnes per hectare. Right now more yields are expected to increase. The only problem is that according to the weather of its state, much search and new way has not come on the potato, and what has happened a little too much has not reached the farmers properly.
Millions of farmers of Agra will benefit
Let us tell you that the National Aloo Research Center is in Shimla (Himachal). He has only two small centers, one in Meerut and one in Patna. Therefore, whatever discovery there is, it difficult to reach the farm and it takes time. Seeds also always have shortage. Therefore, every year the farmer is forced to sow the potatoes that he has kept in cold storage. The Yogi government is now going to cure this problem of farmers.
A branch of the International Aloo Research Institute Peru (Lima) in Agra is about to open. Most potatoes are produced in the districts around it. Whatever research and new way will come here, millions of potato farmers here will benefit greatly.
Half a dozen districts have 75 percent potatoes!
75 percent of the potatoes of the state are born in about six districts of western Uttar Pradesh. These districts are Meerut, Aligarh, Agra, Kanpur, Moradabad and Bareilly. Along with these, Firozabad, Hathras, Kannauj, Farrukhabad, Etawah, Mathura, Mainpuri and Badaun also have good potato yield. And Agra falls between all these districts. In such a situation, farmers will benefit greatly by opening the International Aloo Research Center here.
And to benefit the rest of the farmers, the Yogi government is also opening excellence centers for potatoes in Saharanpur and Kushinagar. This will benefit potato farmers of western and eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Farmers will benefit only!
Dr. S.P., a major scientist at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Gorakhpur, Singh says that these centers will know about the varieties that give more yields in less time and more heat tolerated. If the seeds are found here at the time of sowing, then the farmers will plant crops according to the demand of the market, which will also increase their earnings. They will know which varieties are good for the main crop and hurry crop.
For example, Kufri Neelkanth has less sugar, but it is difficult to get its seeds. Similarly, Kufri valor that bears heat, Kufri fame that is cooked in 60-65 days, and Kufri Chipsona which is used to make chips, does not get the seeds easily. These research centers will help to overcome this problem.
Expected to increase yields!
Although the weather and soil there matters a lot for any crop, but good seeds and new methods are no less necessary. Due to these, many countries in Europe, like Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and New Zealand, are producing 38 to 44 tonnes of potatoes in one hectare. New seeds and new methods from new research centers are highly expected to increase yields even more. Its state is the most populous, so it is necessary to increase yields according to its need and to send it out, and the government is doing the same thing.
