NURMAHAL
The total purchase of paddy by the state government and private agencies from farmers have crossed5,63088 lakhs quintals under the jurisdiction of the Nurmahal market committee on November 13, which is less by 20 percent of the purchase last year on this date.
Committee secretary Guresh Sehgal said we are expecting a few percent more purchases of paddy this season and may not achieve the targets of 702070 lakhs quintals purchased last year. He said this is due to the fall in yield per acre due to various reasons.
