  • Livestock Farmers Hit by Rains as Price of Dry Fodder Mounts

    Unseasonal rains have taken a toll on the pockets of livestock farmers resulting in a rise in the prices of dry fodder which is being sold at Rs 550-Rs 800 per quintal. Farmers say due to the untimely rain, they have observed a drastic slash in the production of wheat husk, resulting in its shortage. Generally, every acre of harvested and thrashed wheat provides approximately 20 quintals of wheat husk, but now they are getting 12 to 15 quintals per acre of wheat husk due to the lodging of the crops.

     

  • India's Rice Procurement Soars: Crossing 50 Mn Tonnes Milestone

    During the current marketing season, which began on October 1, the Indian government procured 49.98 million tonnes (mt) of rice as of April 30. However, it is slightly lower than the year-ago figure of 50.03 mt. This may allow the government to supply more rations at ration shops if necessary, even if wheat procurement falls short of its aim. Rice procurement during the kharif season from October to April was 49.41 million tonnes, up from 49.73 million tonnes the previous year.
