Paddy lifting and milling permission between inter-districts with high production and limited milling capacities
So far, 19.39 lakh tonnes of paddy have been procured, with 10 lakh tonnes being lifted
Raipur (thestates.news) | In Chhattisgarh, paddy is lifted continually for custom milling in addition to being procured at a support price. The Food Department has added rice millers from other districts to those districts where milling capacity is limited due to a lack of rice mills and production is high, so that custom milling work can be completed more quickly. DO has been given for around 16.08 lakh metric tonnes of paddy out of a total of 19.39 lakh metric tonnes acquired in the state so far. The committees have lifted around 10 lakh metric tonnes of paddy from these regions.
