2025年9月24日, 尼廷·加德卡里(Nitin Gadkari)部长强调印度农民需要更强有力的政府支持, 全球市场决定玉米、大豆、糖和石油等关键作物的价格, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stressed on September 24, 2025, that Indian farmers need stronger government support as global markets dictate prices for key crops like corn, soybean, sugar, and oil, leaving farmers vulnerable despite agriculture employing 65% of the population and contributing only 14% to GDP. 他指出,在生物乙醇生产开始之后,玉米价格从每平方英寸1,200到2,800美元上涨,这造成了经济紧张,然而农民却从乙醇销售中挣得45,000瓦。 He cited a rise in corn prices from ₹1,200 to ₹2,800 per quintal after bio-ethanol production began, which caused economic strain, yet farmers earned ₹45,000 crore from ethanol sales. 加德卡里(Gadkari)推动农业多样化进入能源部门,强调生物燃料是削减印度每年22万桶化石燃料进口成本和减少与运输相关的空气污染(占排放量的40%)的途径。 Gadkari promoted diversifying agriculture into energy sectors, highlighting biofuels as a way to cut India’s ₹22 lakh crore annual fossil fuel import bill and reduce transport-related air pollution, which accounts for 40% of emissions. 他表示相信印度有潜力领导可持续的航空燃料和从能源进口商向出口商过渡。 He expressed confidence in India’s potential to lead in sustainable aviation fuel and transition from energy importer to exporter.
