Farm Storage Structure Scheme helps land-holding farmers in Gujarat build secure on-farm crop storage facilities with financial support from the state. The Agriculture, Farmers Welfare and Cooperation Department covers 50% of the construction cost, up to a maximum of ₹75,000, so farmers can protect their harvest from rain, storms and other weather damage and wait for better market prices before selling.
Applications for 2026 are being accepted online through the official I-Khedut Portal. The scheme is open to any farmer who holds agricultural land in Gujarat, and the support can be claimed only once per landholding.
Farm Storage Structure Scheme - Introduction
Farm Storage Structure Scheme is a state-level scheme run by the Agriculture, Farmers Welfare and Cooperation Department of Gujarat. It gives money help to farmers for building sturdy grain storage structures on their own farmland. With this infrastructure, harvested crops stay safe from rain, storms and other natural calamities instead of getting damaged in the open.
Because the produce can be stored safely, farmers do not have to rush to sell at low market rates right after harvest. They can keep the crop and sell it when prices are better, which improves their overall earnings.
