Call it the destiny of the farmers or the discrepancy of the system, that the providers are forced to sell their crops below the support price. In the midst of the two-month long farmers agitation in Delhi, such situations make many think.
When farmers do not get the proper price for hard-grown crops, they suffer a lot. Expressing his anguish, Shri Krishna Rathore, an advanced farmer of the village, said that 102 quintals of maize were produced in 5 acres, but Rs. 1000. Quintals sold, which is about half the price of the support price (1950). Mr. Mangalsingh Parihar of Meharghatti suffered double damage. Due to hailstorm and pest infestation, the average production of maize was found to be 5 quintals / acre, while the price was Rs. 1200. Quintal yield (while the support price is Rs.50 / quintal) which further increased the deficit. Jowar of Mr. Fattulal Kushwaha of Nagjhiri sold Rs 1300 / quintal, while Jowar s support price was Rs 2500. Is / quintal. The situation of farmers Mr. Kanhaiyalal and Mr. Dharmendra Singh is also no different. Due to low production and low prices, they could not even recover the cost of their soybean and cotton crops. Chilli crop is the means of livelihood of Mr. Ramkaran Kushwaha of Moghan, but this year the crop got spoiled due to virus. Many pepper-producing farmers are on the verge of ruin. On the other hand, Mr. Banshilal and Mr. Jagannath of Udaipura said that if the government had purchased agricultural commodities through registration, the farmers would have benefited. Farmers are being cheated by selling the crop at a lower price than the arbitrary traders. The farmers have demanded compensation of 50 thousand / acre for the Kharif crop.

Farmers also drew attention to the fact that when farmers sell their produce, the prices of crops increase immediately after that. Soybean was sold by farmers earlier from 2500 to 3500 / quintal below MSP, which is now selling at a higher price than 5000. The same situation is also with cotton. First good cotton Rs 4200-4300 She now sold 5500 rupees till quintal. Quintal is on sale. Even if farmers consider it as a trader-officer nexus or there are other reasons, it is also true that selling crops below the support price is causing great harm to the farmers.
Shri AK Jain, General Manager, District Cooperative Central Bank, Khargone informed that there was an order by the state government to sell Kharif grains in the open market in Mandi. We did not buy in the absence of the order of the MSP by registering us with the cooperative societies under the CCB. Last year was the order. Orders have been received for purchase of wheat crop produced in this rabi.
