&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Farmers are still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TENKASI: &lt;/em&gt;Paddy farmers from across the district alleged that the Direct Purchase Centres (DPC) here were purchasing paddy from middlemen, instead of purchasing it from them. They added that it has affected their profits and that the middlemen were now getting benefitted from their misery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When TNIE spoke to farmers from areas like Panpozhi, Kadayam, Puliyarai, and Kadayanallur, they said they were still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Fearing the loss of paddy to natural calamities, the frustrated farmers are forced to sell them to middlemen at a lower price. The latter then sell them to the DPC at the price fixed by the State government. For instance, a middleman who purchases `1 lakh-worth paddy from a farmer sells it for `1.3 lakh to `1.4 lakh. He gives a bribe of `3 for each kg of paddy, to the staff at the DPC. Thus, the middlemen, who are in no way involved in paddy cultivation, earns crores of rupees in a season alone with the support of corrupt officials,&amp;quot; claimed A Nainar, a farmer from Panpozhi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After procuring paddy from the farmers, the next step for the middlemen is to look out for random, large areas of land and get forged &amp;#39;Adangal&amp;#39; (a revenue record) for them as &amp;#39;paddy-cultivated land&amp;#39;. This is because, without the &amp;#39;Adangal&amp;#39;, they will not be able to sell the produce to the DPC. This is where the alleged nexus between the middlemen and Village Administrative Officers (VAOs) come into play, said several farmers from Kadayam.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Farmers are still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online.</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>TENKASI: </em>Paddy farmers from across the district alleged that the Direct Purchase Centres (DPC) here were purchasing paddy from middlemen, instead of purchasing it from them. They added that it has affected their profits and that the middlemen were now getting benefitted from their misery.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">When TNIE spoke to farmers from areas like Panpozhi, Kadayam, Puliyarai, and Kadayanallur, they said they were still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&quot;Fearing the loss of paddy to natural calamities, the frustrated farmers are forced to sell them to middlemen at a lower price. The latter then sell them to the DPC at the price fixed by the State government. For instance, a middleman who purchases `1 lakh-worth paddy from a farmer sells it for `1.3 lakh to `1.4 lakh. He gives a bribe of `3 for each kg of paddy, to the staff at the DPC. Thus, the middlemen, who are in no way involved in paddy cultivation, earns crores of rupees in a season alone with the support of corrupt officials,&quot; claimed A Nainar, a farmer from Panpozhi.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">After procuring paddy from the farmers, the next step for the middlemen is to look out for random, large areas of land and get forged &#39;Adangal&#39; (a revenue record) for them as &#39;paddy-cultivated land&#39;. This is because, without the &#39;Adangal&#39;, they will not be able to sell the produce to the DPC. This is where the alleged nexus between the middlemen and Village Administrative Officers (VAOs) come into play, said several farmers from Kadayam.</p>

Direct Purchase Centres colluding with middlemen to deny farmers government-fixed revenue? -Thinakaran Rajamani

-The New Indian Express Farmers are still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online. TENKASI: Paddy farmers from across the district alleged that the Direct Purchase Centres (DPC) here were purchasing paddy from middlemen, instead of purchasing it from them. They added that it has affected their profits and that the middlemen were now getting benefitted from their misery. When TNIE spoke to farmers from areas like Panpozhi, Kadayam, Puliyarai, and Kadayanallur, they said they were still waiting to sell their paddy to the DPC even 10 days after submitting their applications online. "Fearing the loss of paddy to natural calamities, the frustrated farmers are forced to sell them to middlemen at a lower price. The latter then sell them to the DPC at the price fixed by the State government. For instance, a middleman who purchases `1 lakh-worth paddy from a farmer sells it for `1.3 lakh to `1.4 lakh. He gives a bribe of `3 for each kg of paddy, to the staff at the DPC. Thus, the middlemen, who are in no way involved in paddy cultivation, earns crores of rupees in a season alone with the support of corrupt officials," claimed A Nainar, a farmer from Panpozhi. After procuring paddy from the farmers, the next step for the middlemen is to look out for random, large areas of land and get forged 'Adangal' (a revenue record) for them as 'paddy-cultivated land'. This is because, without the 'Adangal', they will not be able to sell the produce to the DPC. This is where the alleged nexus between the middlemen and Village Administrative Officers (VAOs) come into play, said several farmers from Kadayam. Please click here to read more.
