The West Bengal government has directed all the cold storage owners in the state to reserve 30 per cent of the space at their respective facilities for the marginal farmers.

This has been done to give relief to the marginal farmers who suffer seasonal tension regarding the storage of their farm products, mainly potatoes.

An instruction on this count has reached all the district magistrates in the state so that the decision of the state government is passed on to cold storage owners in their respective districts.

The district magistrates have also been advised to personally supervise and ensure that the state government's order on this count is followed true to its spirit. As per the decision, the marginal farmers will be able to store a maximum quantity of 30 quintals of potato, which approximately, will count to 70 sacks.
