Farmers are not getting fair prices in the market, know when the prices will increase in the market?

30/04/2020 Thursday April 30th, 2020

Except for the few districts (Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain) of Madhya Pradesh, wheat procurement is going on from April 15 in all the districts on support price, but mustard crops are yet to be purchased on support price. The speed of wheat procurement is also very slow at the procurement centers. The reason for this slow pace is the social distancing being adopted due to corona infection. Due to this social distancing, only 20 farmers can visit the procurement centers. In such a situation, farmers are being forced to sell their produce in the market at a quarter to one price.

Due to the slow pace of procurement at the procurement centers at the support price, farmers have to sell their mustard and wheat produce at low prices. Due to this, farmers are losing 2 to 250 rupees on wheat and about 500 rupees on mustard. However, it is expected that when the lockdown period ends on May 3, there is a possibility of a rise in the mandis of low-corona infected areas of Madhya Pradesh.

Traffic is prohibited during the nationwide lockdown because of the Corona infection. Despite this, a lot of work is going on in the agricultural sector during this period. This is what we see by looking at the figures for fertilizer sales at record levels during the lockdown period.

During the lockdown between April 1 and April 22, 2020, farmers have purchased 10.63 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizer. If we compare this figure with the fertilizer sales data for the same period last year, then there is a big difference. This year fertilizer sales have increased by 32% as compared to 8.02 lakh metric tonnes in the same period last year.

The Government of India has granted permission for the operation of fertilizer plants in the country under the Essential Commodities Act, even during lockdown so that the lockdown does not have any ill effects on the agricultural sector.
