Glut in supply pushes down Karuppu Kavuni paddy price
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|July 28, 2025
AN increase in the off-season cultivation of Karuppu Kavuni paddy — a traditional variety widely opted by farmers across several districts such as Madurai, Tiruchy and Virudhunagar — has created a glut in the market, leading to a severe price drop.
The deep purple-black-colour paddy variety, which has an average wholesale market price of ₹50-₹60 per kg, was sold at just ₹35 per kg in Madurai on Sunday.
The Karuppu Kavuni paddy is generally cultivated during the samba season (September-January). However, many farmers, lately, have been cultivating the crop even during summer, likely due to its higher selling price compared to conventional varieties. It has resulted in a severe drop in demand and a significant loss to both farmers and rice mill owners.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
