BKU threatens stir over sunflower procurement : The Tribune India

Tribune News Service
Kurukshetra, June 2

With procurement of sunflower yet to begin, the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) has threatened to launch a stir if the entire crop is not procured at the minimum support price.

“Harvesting has started, but farmers are not in a position to keep the wet crop for long. It cannot be stored in the open lest there is a strong wind. Due to uncertain weather conditions and delay in procurement, farmers have been storing the stock at their houses,” said Rakesh Bains, BKU (Charuni) spokesman.

Process to begin on June 5: Govt

  • Sanjeev Kaushal, Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, said the procurement would start on June 5

  • He said the government had designated Hafed and Haryana State Warehousing Corporation for the purpose and it would procure the entire produce of 13,784 tonnes

  • He said 6,109 farmers had registered themselves on “Meri Fasal Mera Byora” portal and only they would be entitled to sell their produce to the agencies

“Farmers do not want to sell their produce to private players, who offer low prices. Farmers are taking the produce to the market to get it cleaned and dried and are bringing it back. The government should start procurement at the earliest and procure the entire crop,” he added.

A total of 2,805 farmers were registered in Shahabad and registration of nearly 1,000 was pending. “A meeting has been called at the Shahabad grain market on Wednesday to decide the future course of action,” said BKU (Charuni) chief Gurnam Singh Charuni.
