Maize farmers in Khammam district have expressed distress over the delay in setting up Markfed procurement centres. Farmers say they are forced to sell produce far below the government support price and have demanded early procurement and a bonus
Telangana farmers, especially maize growers, are once again struggling to obtain urea, forming long queues at the Palakurthy Rythu Seva Centre from early morning. Officials previously restricted distribution to one bag per farmer during the August-September shortage.
Former Minister T. Harish Rao criticised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for delays in crop procurement, alleging that farmers are incurring heavy losses due to government inaction. He demanded immediate opening of procurement centres and highlighted failures in power supply and agricultural support.
