The Hindu
Discussions with Agriculture Ministers of southern States soon
The State is looking at long-term measures for ensuring adequate supply of vegetables from neighbouring States to keep prices down, according to Minister for Agriculture P. Prasad.
Discussions will be held soon with the Agriculture Ministers of southern States in this regard, Mr. Prasad said here on Wednesday. The government is aiming for direct purchases from vegetable farmers in those States by avoiding middlemen. This is designed to be a long-term mechanism rather than a short-term measure to overcome the present price rise, he added.
