Farmers in Wanaparthy District should start harvesting their paddy immediately and take it to the purchase centers. Delaying this process could lead to complications.
Tarpaulins are ready at the centers to protect the paddy from rain. Farmers should ensure their crop is covered.
Some centers have finished grain procurement, and lorries will be dispatched to those still buying. There will be no lorry shortages now.
Today, 250 lorries of grain were transported. Facilities are in place to handle 150 lorries of grain per day at mills, godowns, and with porters.
If farmers have issues at procurement centers, they should call the 24/7 helpline at 08546-233525.
An additional 45,000 metric tons of paddy needs purchasing in the district, with completion expected in about ten days.
Last year, by May 27, 82,000 metric tons of paddy were bought during the Yasangi season. This year, 2,25,564 metric tons have been purchased, tripling the previous amount.
From 32,000 farmers, 2,25,564 metric tons of paddy have been bought, and Rs. 418 crore has been deposited in their accounts. The government plans to add a bonus soon.
