YSRCP accuses govt. of failing to ensure MSP to chilli farmers

The Hindu  

: YSR Congress Party MLC Lella Appi Reddy accused the State government of failing to deliver the promised ₹11,781 minimum support price to chilli farmers.

Highlighting the drastic fall in prices from ₹27,000 per quintal last year to below ₹10,000 now, pushing farmers into distress sales amid unpaid debts, he sought to know whether the government had procured even a single unit of chillies. ‘’Guntur district has a record of ₹10,000 crore annual chilli trade and 150 cold storage units holding 1.3 crore bags, but the government’s apathy is deplorable.
