Meanwhile, the farmers have brought a large amount of sunflower produce to Gajwel and Siddipet market yards. They have staged protests demanding that the government reopen the procurement centres.

After learning about farmers’ struggles, Former Minister T Harish Rao wrote a letter to the State government seeking the opening of procurement centres, following which the Markfed opened them, bringing smiles back on the farmer’s faces.

However, the officials told Telangana Today, they were ordered to procure only 3,000 metric tonnes of Sunflower under the State government’s quota. The farmers in the district had cultivated sunflower this Yasangi in 9,278 acres.
