The Krishna district authorities will now procure paddy directly from the field to help farmers save transportation charges during the ongoing kharif season. Joint Collector J. Murali on Friday reviewed procurement at various Paddy Procurement Centres (PPC).
Officials will help farmers store their produce in government-held godowns until a better price is offered.
“Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will review paddy procurement in the district through video conference soon,” Mr. Murali said.
