About Post-harvest management assistance
The most recent post-harvest call on the department's pages is a 2017-18 advertisement issued under the Horticulture Mission for North East and Himalayan States reference. The State Horticulture Mission site lists the advertisement among its application formats, but it covers 2017-18, and the pages do not show an open call now.
The assistance is a subsidy on a bank loan, so the loan sanction comes first.

- Support for setting up a farmer producer organisation of 500 farmers in each district.
Who can apply
- Farmers and entrepreneurs, according to the advertisement.
