‘Only 2 lakh quintals of seed procured so far against the projected demand of 4 lakh quintals’ 4
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded that the State government must announce a subsidy of 90% on groundnut seeds to be distributed among the farmers in Anantapur district. Having suffered from severe crop loss and low yield due to excess rainfall in the monsoon season last year, many farmers now do not have adequate seed stock to sow or borrow from the fellow ryots. The Agriculture Department must expedite the procurement of groundnut seeds and process them in time for the kharif season, said CPI (M) district secretary V. Rambhupal. “The Agriculture Department has so far procured only 2 lakh quintals of seed against the projected demand of 4 lakh quintals for this season,” Mr. Rambhupal told the media here on Thursday.
