Paddy growers in Nellore at their wits’ end

The Hindu  

There has been no end to the woes of paddy growers in SPSR Nellore district as the Asani-induced rains had not only damaged just harvested paddy but also submerged seedlings raised by them for growing the summer crop ''Edagaru''. A majority of the paddy growers, including tenant farmers sold their produce in the open market at a price much below the MSP without going to the Rythu Bharosa Kendras set up by the State government for doing e-crop booking. “A majority of the farmers were forced to sell their paddy between ₹11,000 and ₹13,000 per putti against the MSP of ₹16,660,” CPI-led Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sangam district president Kishore Babu complains in a conversation with The Hindu. Civil Supplies District Manager P. Padma says the government had so far procured 2.98 lakh tonnes of rabi paddy from 13,447 farmers from April 4 as against the target of 3 lakh tonnes. As against the total production of 5.50 lakh tonnes during kharif, the government had procured 2 lakh tonnes of paddy from 8,755 farmers and credited ₹360 crore to their bank accounts, she adds.
