: , ? Why Paddy Farmers Agitating In Telangana?
Anvesh Reddy, a paddy producer from Telanganas Nizamabad district, decided to burn his produce to mark his protest against the state governments crop regulation policy, which he had followed.
Anvesh grew sanna rakalu (a super fine paddy variety) on his 3.5 acres of land, in line with the state governments policy urging farmers to substitute doddu rakalu (a coarse variety). The yield drastically dropped to 30 quintals 10.3 quintals per acre. With the coarse variety, his usual total yield is about 70 quintals.
The drop in yield is due to devastating pests associated with the particular variety he had sown. Besides, sanna rakalu is a low-yielding variety associated with high costs of cultivation. At the end of the day, his produce failed to fetch him the minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 1,880 per quintal fixed by the government. There are no takers for the produce in the open market and the government has failed to come forward for procurement.
Crop regulation policy
Unveiling the so-called crop regulation policy, chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao or KCR promised market facilities for all crops prescribed by his government, saying the policy intended to make the job of cultivation a profitable business. Accordingly, the government prompted farmers into demand-driven crop cultivation.
