This year farmers can produce record rice

This year farmers of the country can produce a record in rice production.

Due to this, there is likely to be a record increase in rice production in the country.

On this issue, the President of Rice Exporters Association of India BV Krishna Rao said that “farmers are interested in growing paddy. They are likely to expand due to government support.
