Farmers urged to register names with VAOs to sell paddy in DPCs

This system will help in weeding out the brokers: Collector

Farmers, who have cultivated ‘kar’ paddy and planned to sell the harvested paddy in the government’s Direct Purchase Centre (DPCs), should register their names with the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) concerned immediately, District Collector V. Vishnu has said. This system has been introduced to weed out the brokers who would buy the paddy from farmers at a lower price and sell it in the DPCs at the minimum support price announced by the government.
