Centre urged to make fertilizers affordable

‘Farming becoming increasingly difficult’

Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Mission Vice-Chairman M.V.S. Nagi Reddy urged the Centre to make available all types of fertilizers at affordable rates in the interest of the nation’s food security. Addressing reporters here, Mr. Nagi Reddy, who is also the State president of the YSR Congress Party’s farmers’ wing, said that farmers were finding it increasingly difficult to do farming in the wake of ever-increasing prices of farm inputs including fertilizers on one hand as well as absence of remunerative price for their produce on the other.
