Delay in paddy procurement and transport issue worry farmers
P. Jaipal Reddy is a farmer with about four acres of land near Shivampet. He cultivated paddy in his land and got a harvest of 100 quintals. He transported his produce to the Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society (PACS) located at Shivampet about two weeks ago. Part of his produce kept at the PACS was covered with tarpaulin covers and coconut tree branches. As there was rain, about 50 kilograms of paddy sprouted while the remaining was safe. After weighing of the paddy, it was shifted to the rice mill on Wednesday.
