In the bustling city of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha, an important announcement was made by the state's Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister, Krushna Chandra Patra, on Thursday. With the Kharif season just around the corner, farmers can expect to receive a minimum support price of Rs3,100 per quintal for their paddy crops.
Patra was proud to announce that the state government had fulfilled its promise of providing a fair price for paddy. He assured the farmers that the promised amount will be directly credited to their accounts within 48 hours of selling their crops. He also mentioned that the necessary instructions have already been given and the process is in motion.
The recent decision by the Union Government to increase the MSP for paddy to Rs2,300 has greatly benefited the state government. This means that the state only needs to add an additional Rs800 per quintal, as opposed to the previous Rs917, to fulfill their promise of Rs3,100 per quintal for the farmers.
Patra went on to assure the farmers that there will be no unfair deductions in the name of quality during the procurement process. This should come as a relief to the hardworking farmers who put in so much effort to produce high-quality crops.
All in all, this announcement brings good news for the farmers of Odisha, who can now expect a fair price for their paddy crops without any unnecessary delays or deductions. The state government's commitment to providing a minimum support price is a positive step towards uplifting the agricultural sector and supporting the hardworking farmers of Odisha.
