“The main reason why farmers are not getting competitive price for their produce is cultivating the same crops opined the Chief Minister KCR He was making a review on the agriculture in the state.
There should be a qualitative change in farmers thinking. Constructive changes should take place,” CM KCR said
. I have not been saying that farmers should go in for the crops that have demand in market now. I have been saying this when I was a transport minister 20 years back.
I have told PM Sri Narendra Modi and then Agriculture Minister Sri Radha Mohan Singh on Crops pattern, Crop Colonies on many occasions several times the CM said
. There is no option left than this. The practice of everyone cultivating the same crops should go way,” the CM remarked.
“Nobody in the market will buy the crops cultivated by farmers according their wishes and fancies. One should cultivate crops, which have demand in the market. Produce the commodities that will sell.
The government is taking the responsibility and suggesting farmers what to cultivate for better profit. The government is giving such crops the Minimum Support price. When the government is taking such an initiative why should farmers think the other way?
