Government discusses draft rules for moisture meters in agriculture

Government discussed draft rules for moisture meters used for measuring moisture level in cereal grains and oilseeds with all stakeholders. Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, Nidhi Khare chaired the meeting in New Delhi on Friday. A moisture meter is a specialized device used to measure the moisture content in various substances, particularly cereal grains and oilseeds in agriculture. It provides accurate readings that are crucial for determining the quality and storage suitability of these commodities. By measuring moisture levels, farmers and traders can ensure better preservation, reduce risks of spoilage, and maintain optimal conditions for storage and transportation. During the meeting, various manufacturers, users, scientific institutions, laboratories and State Government Legal Metrology Departments were present.
