Better late than never...manchi transport facilities and strategic location lo vundi...manchi semi arid climate and fertile lands..

Edo oka roju idi jaragalsinde...idi oka maarpu ni naandi anukovadame..

Denamma..asalu oil seeds market mida kabza esthe paisal ae paisal..

Alternate crops are better for the farmers and also make more money for them… they don’t have to depend on the government to buy the harvest…

Fully support this.. Think yourself...how much of what you consume is rice ? As country progresses, you consume more nuts and fruits .. That's a sign of progress

 

More and more doctors are saying eat less rice

Exactly...even farm bill would have achieved that indirectly - farmers will know what to do one way or other - market demand and other factors and change would have come slowly. 

Blindly going with rice and wheat and expecting government to pay minimum.

The new farm bills would have bought in some new investments in agriculture and new agri business model would have taken shape. Abuse kuda vuntadi ane critsim vundi but which system is not abused?

BJP and TRS ugly verbal duel and blame game valla edana manchi jarigindi ante ide...

Honestly, no politician or CM will dare to say not to cultivate paddy and the state will not buy anymore.

The message is now loud and clear...no paddy.

They don't do it because it is hard to grow other crops.

Decisions thesukovadamena leka incentives/resources ichchedi emayina unda? All these days he promoted Vari. Gave a lot of water too to facilitate it. Appudu ee thelivi emayindi? Are you expecting the farmers who have taken a hit with Paddy to take another big risk and grow alternative crops without any help?

Oh..FYI, there are already many schemes and subsidies to grow alternate crops. 2015 lo ne ivanni implement cheyadaniki plan chesinaru and they are all in place. Don't look for all these information on google or news channels. Local agriculture officer or MRO or even banks are willing to provide this information. 

Ie crisis vachindi even 2nd and 3rd crop kuda paddy veyadam tho...lot of instrcutions have been sent but with improved conditions, its favpurable for farmers to cultivate paddy. 

Incentives and resources, co-operative societies are all in place for a long time. 1st crop paddy and tarvata crop alternate veyali ani 5 years nundi cheputune vunaru, schemes kuda vunayi...sometimes all that you can do is to try to help.

Alternate crops are better. But initial investment koncham untadhi. I dont know how many farmers can afford it. Govt should encourage that.

also lot of small farmers dont have resources to understand alternate options. May be mandal ki few folks ni appoint chesi aa farmers ni educate cheyyali

True. It has always been like that. First crop paddy and tarvata two crops cash crops vesetollu. like oil seeds cotton, pulses, veggies, sun flower, castor oil seeds, etc.

Best example maa vilages side, first crop paddy tarvata sunflower, castor oil seeds, cotton vesetollu...right now, nothing other than paddy.

Crop loans almost 1 lakh per acre istunaru...instant loans with no paperwork. and most of the times interest on these loans is waived. Some one has 5 acres want investment, banks are giving crop loans. 

Poly house, solar farm, water storage, drip irrigation and sprinkler systems, seeds purchase, cold storage, farm equipment, itla anniti mida subsidies and incentives vunayi...they are already in place. Inthakante ekuva incentives iche kante better to pay farmers monthly allowance not to do farming.
