Assam govt’s initiative to procure paddy at MSP led to procurement of 6-lakh metric tonne crop: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Dec 19, 2023
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that initiative by the State government to procure paddy at a minimum support price led to procurement of a total of 6-lakh metric tonne of the crop from as many as 62,000 farmers from across the State. This led to transfer of an aggregate amount of Rs. 12,000 crores into the accounts of the farmers and agriculturists.
Sarma on Saturday visited the 8th Assam Agri-Horti Show-2023 at College of Veterinary Sciences Playground at Khanapara scheduled to be held on 16th, 17th and 18th of December, 2023.
Sarma inaugurated the Assam Mandap, Assam Agriculture University Mandap and the International Pavilion and also visited the stalls by framers from across the State where various produces were kept for display. The Chief Minister also laid the foundation stones for the project for development of the Darrangiri banana market. This apart, he virtually laid the foundation stones for the office building of Assam Seed Corporation Limited and ceremonially unveiled its logo and the “brand name'.
Addressing the event, Sarma said the current government in the State has been working tirelessly for the past two and half years for the uplift of the agriculture sector. He said the initiative by the State government to procure paddy at a minimum support price led to procurement of a total of 6-lakh metric tonne of the crop from as many as 62,000 farmers from across the State. This led to transfer of an aggregate amount of Rs. 12,000 crore into the accounts of the farmers and agriculturists, he said.
The State government’s attempt at purchase of mustard from farmers too have met with unprecedented enthusiasm, he said. The Chief Minister added that all steps are being taken to see that farmers are not deprived of the schemes and policies that have been launched or undertaken for their benefits. Millet Mission, Fodder Mission, among others, are also being utilized as medium to support the farmers, he added.
Drawing a comparison between farmers in many other States to those from Assam, Sarma said Assam’s farmers should also practise commercial tree plantation and horticulture more extensively so as to increase their incomes like their counterparts from some of the other States. Referring to products from the State such as lemon, lichi, ginger, bhootjolokia, among others, managing to attract attention in many markets abroad, Sarma exuded confidence scientific cultivation of such species would go a long way in ensuring a niche market for such products from Assam in the world market.
Sarma said though there is a Rs. 100-crore flower market in the State, flowers cultivated in the State constitute only about 15% of the total demand. The State is also dependent on procurement from outside the State for pig feed and fish feed, among others.
