Sony, Bhandara district, which is considered to be the storehouse of paddy, is the identity of Lakhandur tehsil, which produces maximum paddy crop. In tehsil, in two such areas, production is done in chauras and bush. 3 crops are taken in the square area. And 2 crops are taken in the bush area.
In this season, large scale production of paddy crop was taken in the tehsil. Paddy was stolen less than a month ago. But till now the farmers are in financial trouble due to non-starting of paddy procurement centers.
The government administration has started some centers as a formality, but the actual procurement of paddy has not started. Farmers seem upset due to lack of paddy procurement centers. Some farmers are selling paddy to traders at low prices due to non-running of procurement centers.
Paddy of some farmers is still lying in the fields due to non-operation of procurement centers. The loan taken by the moneylender for farming till date is now coming at the door. The question of how to repay the money of these moneylenders has arisen in front of the farmers. In such a situation, there is a demand of the farmers that the paddy procurement center should be started soon.
In the last year’s Kharif season, the month of harvesting and stealing of paddy came to an end. Farmers are finding it difficult to store it. But still the government support price paddy procurement centers were started in some places only as a formality. Needy farmers are selling their goods to traders at low prices. The farmers are being looted by the traders, however, due to the absence of operation of the procurement center in the tehsil, the farmers are in financial trouble.
