Kendrapada Farmers Face Paddy Seed Shortage

Imagine farmers planting rice, which needs seeds.

Farmers in Kendrapada, India, don't have enough of these seeds!

They need around 5,000 big bags of seeds but only got about half.

This makes it hard to grow rice.

Some farmers are buying seeds from the market, but they're very expensive, much more than they should be.

The government is trying to help by giving out seeds and suggesting other types of seeds.

Farmers say that the government isn't doing enough, and they think some people are making the prices go up on purpose.

About 3.6 lakh families are affected because they can't get the seeds they need.
