Information Technology will be used to upgrade the services of the Rythu Bazaars in the State and the gap between farmers and the consumers will be bridged further by identifying the places where there is a demand for vegetables and setting up mini Rythu Bazaars for the benefit of the general public, according to B.V. Ramana Murthy, Chief Executive Officer of the Rythu Bazaars.
Along with city MLA Vanamadi Venkateswara Rao, Mr. Murthy inaugurated a shed that was built by the agriculture market committee by spending Rs. 10 lakh at the Rythu Bazaar near the APSRTC Complex here on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Murthy said that keeping in view the gated communities to be built in the capital city Amaravati, mini Rythu Bazaars with 10-15 stalls each would be set up in the near future.
“We are going to open 20 new Rythu Bazaars in the Krishna district alone and 10 more Rythu Bazaars in East Godavari district,” he said, while asking the local officials to send proposals for setting up the new outlets.
Referring to the sales, Mr. Murthy said that the credentials of the farmers setting up stalls in the Rythu Bazaars would be verified with the help of their Aadhaar number and only genuine farmers given an opportunity to open their stalls.
CEO says mini Rythu Bazaars will be opened near Amaravati in near future
