In a major relief for the farming community, paddy procurement centers have been opened across various mandals in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema District to facilitate the smooth purchase of paddy during the harvest season. The initiative aims to ensure that farmers receive fair prices for their produce and avoid difficulties in marketing their crops.
District officials stated that adequate arrangements have been made at procurement centers to handle large quantities of paddy efficiently. Farmers are being encouraged to bring their harvested produce directly to the centers, where quality checks and procurement procedures are being carried out in a transparent manner.
The administration has deployed dedicated staff to assist farmers with registration, weighing, quality assessment, and payment-related procedures. Authorities have assured that payments will be credited directly to farmers’ bank accounts within the stipulated timeframe, ensuring financial security and convenience.
Agriculture and marketing department officials are also conducting awareness campaigns to inform farmers about procurement guidelines, minimum support prices (MSP), and required documentation.
