Farmers of Odisha's Gajapati sell paddy to Andhra traders

New Indian Express  

Girish Nayak, a native of Kerandi village, owns two acre land. If I do not sell it to Andhra and keep the stock with me, is there any guarantee Gajapati administration will buy it,” he said. Gajapati Zilla Krushak Sangha president Surya Patnaik, said this year over 50 per cent paddy crop was damaged due to unseasonal rains. Chief civil supplies officer of Gajapati Prafulla Behera said the administration has adequately publicised the assistance for crop loss and sensitised farmers about the enhanced price of Rs 3100 per quintal of paddy. He said the stock sold to AP traders is farmers’ surplus but expressed ignorance over tokens being issued by AP government for procurement from Gajapati farmers.
