MILLET MAIZE ETHANOL #FarmersFirst

In a major relief to maize growers across Andhra Pradesh, Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu has assured farmers that the government will begin timely procurement of maize to ensure they receive fair prices and are protected from market fluctuations.

A total of 350 farmers have registered for the government’s Minimum Support Price (MSP) maize procurement process in Deola. Since early morning, farmers were seen standing in long queues at the registration center, hoping to secure their slot for selling maize under the support-price scheme.

In a major breakthrough for agriculture, hybrid maize seed production has shown remarkable success in recent field trials. Researchers reported high germination rates, robust plant growth, and promising yield potential, making these seeds a strong candidate for large-scale farming.

The state government, however, maintained that procurement arrangements are underway and assured farmers that necessary steps are being taken to resolve the issue at the earliest.
