East Godavari Sets 4 LMT Target for Kharif Paddy Procurement

East Godavari Sets 4 LMT Target for Kharif Paddy Procurement

The government in East Godavari wants to buy a lot of rice from farmers this season, aiming for 4 lakh metric tons.

So far, they've bought over 27,000 tons from nearly 4,000 farmers.

Farmers get paid quickly, within two days, and the money goes straight to their bank accounts.

The government is also helping with things like gunny bags and making sure there are places to sell the rice.

They're telling farmers to make sure the rice is dry before they bring it.

If farmers have any questions or problems, there's a special phone number they can call.

The prices the government is paying are set by the Minimum Support Price, which is like a guaranteed good price for the farmers.
