Collector asks traders to adhere to govt. prices
District Collector Sumit Kumar on Thursday warned action against those who deny the price fixed by the government to procure Totapuri mangoes from the farmers.
Mr. Kumar inspected the Jain factory in Gangadhara Nellore and RMM factory in Gudipala and interacted with the factory management as well as the farmers. He asked the traders to purchase the mango at the rate fixed by the government and not to trouble the farmers. He asked the revenue officials to provide basic facilities like food and water to the farmers who come to the factories to sell their produce.
He asked the factory management to increase the capacity of processing units and also make adequate packing material available in view of the increase of mango yield in the district. He also directed the management to release money to the farmers early.
On the occasion, the Collector assured the farmers that the government is ready to purchase all the mango yield in the district and not a single farmer will incur losses.
Meanwhile, Joint Collector Vidyadhari visited a pulp factory at Nalagampalli in Bangarupalem mandal and inspected the issuance of tokens to farmers at the factory. She asked farmers not to panic. She announced helpline numbers 08572-242777 or 9491077325 for the farmers.
