This year farmers can produce record rice

This year farmers of the country can produce a record in rice production. The reason behind this is being told by the government to increase the price of paddy and the possible good monsoon rains, due to which farmers are sowing paddy on a large scale. 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. In the new marketing year we can produce 120 million tonnes. The government has increased the price at which it will buy new season rice from farmers.”

Nitin Gupta, vice-president of Olam India, said on the subject that “rising global prices, good monsoon rains and increasing exports are encouraging Indian farmers to plant more rice”. Gupta said that unlike its rivals, India has a large surplus for exports and it will grow further in the new season.
