Operation Greens: Price Stabilization for Perishable Produce

Modelled along the lines of 'Operation Flood', Operation Greens was introduced to enhance the value realization of Tomato, Onion, and Potato (TOP) farmers and later expanded to 22 notified perishable fruits and vegetables.

Subsidy Mechanisms: - Short-Term Price Stabilization: 50% subsidy on transportation of eligible crops through Indian Railways (Kisan Rail) and registered road logistics. - 50% subsidy on hiring appropriate cold storage facilities for up to 3 months during surplus harvest gluts. - Long-Term Integrated Value Chain Projects: Up to 50% capital grant (maximum ₹50 Crore) for creating integrated post-harvest processing hubs.
