Minister Highlights Tobacco Farmer Struggles, Calls for Support

A minister in India spoke about how the government makes a lot of money from tobacco farmers but doesn't always help them when they have problems.

He said that farmers are losing money due to things like heavy rain that washes away the fertilizer.

He also mentioned that while the farmers struggle, the companies that buy tobacco make a lot of money.

Another person at the event talked about how the cost of growing tobacco is too high and suggested farmers use a plant that is harmful to forests instead of firewood to help with this.

The event also recognized farmers who have done well in their work.
