MILLET MAIZE ETHANOL #AgriPolicy

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has announced that it will convene a high-level meeting with distilleries and ethanol manufacturers to address the growing concerns over the maize crisis affecting farmers across the state.

This move is expected to benefit small and medium-scale farmers who often struggle to sell their produce at fair prices in the open market.

In a move aimed at supporting farmers and stabilizing maize prices, the Karnataka government has announced an increase in the maize procurement limit to 50 quintals per farmer.

This effort seeks to protect farmers’ income and ensure fair feed costs for poultry producers and consumers alike.

With the growing demand for affordable feed in India, imports could help stabilize prices and support livestock farmers. Government officials argue that the decision will improve feed availability and contribute to boosting milk and meat production in the country.
