Farmers Choose 'Kerala' Rice for Better Profit

|January 17, 2025
Dindigul farmers grow matta rice varieties that have good demand in Kerala to get better yield and good returns
THE increasing demand for rice from Kerala, coupled with good returns, has pushed farmers to opt for paddy cultivation in Dindigul district. Paddy was cultivated on over 13,000 hectares in 2023-2024, a stark increase from the 1,522 hectares in 2016-17.
K Magudeeswaran, a paddy farmer said, "There are many varieties of paddy in Palani and other areas such as Ayakudi, Pappampadi, Akkaraipatti and Narikalpatti. Some of the popular varieties are Jyothi Matta, Sindu Kaveri and Akashya. Jyothi Matta variety, which offers a yield of 1-1.5 tonnes per 60 cents of land, is bought by traders and mill owners and is sold in Kerala. Since the crop period is just 120-130 days, many farmers opt for this variety."
