Horticulture farmers and wheat growers are the worst hit

Ahmedabad:
After a devastating hailstorm and unseasonal rains earlier this week in parts of Western India that damaged crops, farmers in Rajasthan and Gujarat are now pinning their hopes on the government assistance to make up for the losses. The worst hit are horticulture farmers and wheat growers, who were in the middle of the harvest season.

According to estimates by farmers, 20 per cent of the crops in Rajasthan and Gujarat has been damaged due to hailstorm and rains. The affected crops include summer sesame seed, wheat, pulses, mustard and castor seed.

The Gujarat wing of Bhartiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) has approached State government seeking compensation to farmers who have suffered losses.

“There are massive losses on the fields and also at the marketing yards under APMCs. Ideally, APMCs (Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee) should take the responsibility of the losses and damages occurring at their premises due to climatic adversity, as they charge cess from farmers and avail of subsidy from the government to build the infrastructure. They must be held responsible for the damages due to unseasonal rains and storm,” said Vitthal Dudhatra, President, BKS-Gujarat Pradesh.
