While the central government continues to assure farmers that it will stand by the minimum support price of Rs 1,888 per quintal, farmers are being compelled to sell their paddy at Rs 1,200 a quintal or less.

Jarnail Singh from Kabirganj in Pilibhit district in Uttar Pradesh has just returned from Paliya Mandi a dejected man. The 50-year-old was unable to sell his 250 quintals of ‘good quality’ paddy. “I had taken a trolley of paddy to the mandi, but no trader bought it even though I was willing to sell it at a much lower price than the government’s minimum support price (MSP) of one thousand eight hundred and eighty eight rupees per quintal,” Singh told Gaon Connection. The farmer was offering to sell his paddy at Rs 1,100 a quintal, Rs 700 less than the government fixed rate; even then, there were no takers, he said despondently.
