As for the Chhattisgarh government, the remaining paddy is becoming a big challenge. Due to this paddy, the government will have to face several thousand crores of rupees. According to an estimate, the Chhattisgarh government will suffer a loss of Rs 3,000-3,600 crore to sell more than 3 million tonnes of surplus rice. It is believed that buyers have paid low rates due to lack of need, so the government may face this loss.
Paddy prices have been fixed!
If the evidence is to be believed, the Paddy Government Agency has identified four categories according to the quality. The company has been forced to repair these four types of paddy for a quantity of Rs 1,900 to Rs 2,100. According to sources, four lakh tonnes of paddy is likely to be grown after the state government approved the booked prices in the first phase of the auction. The state government has decided to re -examine the rest of the contract in the next step, as the amount sold is very low. According to the report of the newspaper The Hindu Business Series, the Chhattisgarh State Co -operative Marketing Association (Markfert) acquired paddy on behalf of the government.
Difference in old and new prices
The company has agreed to take only 104.48 lakh tonnes of paddy from the center to the central pond. After this, it has been decided to sell about 33 lakh tonnes of surplus rice in the open market. Paddy is sold more than MSP prices in the state. In 2023-24, the center bought about 124 lakh tonnes of paddy from Chhattisgarh. According to booked prices, the price of paddy sack with a type of grade is fixed at Rs. The old price was Rs.
Similarly, the price of a common type (most gold) is fixed at Rs. The old price is Rs. The MSP for Grade A was fixed at Rs. At the same time, the price of the common type was fixed at Rs.
Experts warned
Bonuses have been announced in some states except MSP and MSP. Experts have warned governments about this. He says that the bonus is spoiling the open market. At the same time, the federal government has not been able to control the increasing rice price in the open market. Some farmers have begun to develop such stories, in which the yield is high. These farmers have grown into the only goal that can sell it to the government. Because of this, the availability of special types of rice has been reduced, which consumers are now buying large quantities. In Chhattisgarh in 2024-25, paddy production will be 127 lakh tonnes (83.35 lakh tonnes per rice). By 2023-24, this figure was 145 lakh tonnes (97.03 lakh tonnes per rice).
