Pemmasani Directs Officials to Ensure Fertiliser Access for Tenant Farmers
Officials in Guntur were told to make sure tenant farmers can get fertilisers.
Tenant farmers are people who cultivate land they do not own.
Farmers working on larger areas should also be able to obtain fertilisers without difficulty.
The district collector said an app has helped reduce distribution problems.
Farmers may be able to use even a small amount of supporting paperwork.
Officials will also discuss gas subsidies, irrigation water and pensions with the Chief Minister.
The government is considering making pension approvals continuous.
A drama festival is planned in Tenali in January.
Union Minister of State Pemmasani Chandrasekhar directed officials to ensure tenant farmers face no problems obtaining fertilisers.
Officials were also told to help farmers cultivating larger areas avoid difficulties in securing fertiliser supplies.
