While the price of gram has come down by Rs 1,000 per quintal. Farmer Sevakram Meena says that the administration should take action against the traders who buy gram from farmers in the market at half the price and sell them at more than one and a half times the price and farmers should get the right price for gram.

This year, 42 thousand 798 farmers had registered for selling gram on support price in the district, but in the month of March-April, farmers did not sell gram on support price due to good price of gram in the agricultural produce market. Only about 83 farmers have sold their gram produce at the centres. Meanwhile, the traders of the Agricultural Produce Market stopped the auction as soon as the cases of corona infection increased. The farmers expected that whenever the auction would start in the mandi, they would get the support price of gram more than Rs 5 thousand 100, but it did not happen. Even before the start of the auction in the mandi, there were reports of a fall in the prices of gram. At present, gram is being auctioned for up to Rs 4 thousand 500.
