மோட்டா ரக நெல்லுக்கான ஊக்கத்தொகையை உயர்த்திட வேண்டும்: விவசாயிகள் சங்கம் கோரிக்கை

According to a report by Dina Thanthi, a farmers' association in Tamil Nadu has formally requested an increase in the government incentive price for 'motta' variety paddy. The association argues that rising cultivation costs, including labor and input expenses, necessitate a revision of the current procurement support to ensure the economic viability of local farming operations.

The demand highlights ongoing concerns among the agricultural community regarding the gap between market procurement prices and the actual cost of production. Farmers have urged the state and central authorities to review the current incentive structure to provide better financial security for those engaged in the cultivation of this specific rice variety.

While this request is currently being processed through local agricultural advocacy channels, it underscores broader discussions regarding agricultural subsidies and support prices in India. The association has indicated that they intend to continue their advocacy until a formal review of the procurement policy is conducted by the relevant agricultural departments.
