NAKODAR
The total purchase of paddy by the state government and private agencies from farmers have crossed 9,04545 lakhs quintals under the jurisdiction of the Nakodar market committee on November 13 which is less by 25 percent of purchase last year on this date.
Committee secretary Guresh Sehgal said we are expecting few percent more purchase of paddy this season and may not achieve targets of 11.99732 lakhs quintals purchased last year. He said this is due to fall of yield per acre due to various reasons.
