A great lack of urea influenced farmers, especially in the Madanapalle income division in the district of Annamayya, which threatened the prospects of corn, jaw and unpeeled crops, vulnerable to drying in a major phase.
Farmers’ score began to rush to government distribution centers to get urea shares throughout the district and create lines from the early hours. Although officials claim that there was no lack of shares, ground reality was something else, the farmers say.
Farmers in B. Kothakota Mandal lamented that the lack of inventories reaching fertilizers would leave in a few hours. They argued that the shares were sold for differentiated rates up to 340 GBP per bag. “This makes us helpless. There are absolutely no previous information on when the shares arrive in our area. Only a few farmers could benefit from this unorganized distribution method,” said Srinivasa Murtha, Farmer.
Several farmers note that in the absence of tangible alternatives, they were forced to travel to Chintamani in the neighboring Karnataka, where they allegedly buy shares for 350 GBP per bag, except for transport costs. “The scenario is worrying and officials should immediately do something to save farmers from this shortage,” another farmer of Sriramulu said.
Another key complaint among farmers is that when trying to reach neighboring mandates to get stocks, they encounter the harsh opposition of their local counterparts, who allegedly deny the opportunity to benefit from distribution.
