MILLET MAIZE ETHANOL #MaizeCrop

Maize farmers across several regions are facing severe distress as market prices have plunged drastically, falling far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP) as well as the basic cost of production. The sudden price crash has left cultivators worried about recovering even their input expenses such as seeds, fertilizer, labour, and transportation.

Many say the decision now appears risky, as maize is more sensitive to low temperatures during its early growth phase. Agricultural experts note that cold stress can delay germination, reduce plant height, and ultimately impact grain formation.
