Chelladurai, district secretary of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam, said at the farmers’ grievances day meeting here that besides the poor yield of the rain-fed crops because of monsoon failure, farmers were worried at the poor price being offered by traders for their produce.
The price offered was lower than the expenses incurred by farmers.
Crumbs
The farmers were offered a paltry Rs. 12 a kg for shallot and for this too they had to depend on Tiruchi market. The district administration should make arrangements to help farmers market their produce at reasonable price and should come forward to open mobile procurement centres in the district.
