Maha Yuti's Maha concern: Soyabean & cotton farmers
The New Indian Express
|November 18, 2024
MAHARASHTRA's Marathwada region is known for its rich cotton and soyabean yield. This year, things are different. Excess rain led to a drastic fall in the output and the prices.
"This season I expected around 10 quintal of the crop in my five-acre land, which could have fetched me a price of at least ₹6,000 per quintal," says Ramesh Shinde, a farmer in Beed, known for its tranquil rivers and lush landscapes.
The soya yield went down from 8 quintal per acre last year to 4 quintal per acre this year. The market price crashed from ₹6,000 per quintal to ₹3,500—below the government support price of ₹4,800 per quintal. "The government should tell me how to live with this income," said Shinde.
