More private hulling units to be roped in to convert paddy into boiled rice

The Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation has decided to enlist private hulling units not so far empanelled for this

In an effort to ensure smooth procurement and stocking during the forthcoming 2021-22 paddy procurement season, the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation has decided to rope in more private hulling units to convert the existing stock of 13.50 lakh tonnes of paddy into boiled rice. As per the proposal, private hulling units hitherto not enlisted for hulling of paddy would be encouraged to receive the paddy and return boiled rice to the Corporation within one-and-half months from now so that sufficient space could be made available for safe stocking of paddy to be procured from October 1, 2021.
