The farmers must be paid MSP for the food grains they sell at procuring centres. The government fixed Rs 1,590 per quintal as the minimum support price for Grade A grains produced in Rabi season and about Rs 1,550 per quintal for normal grains.

The officials should transport the food grains that were purchased from the farmers to rice mills, allotted by the government and should maintain records. Necessary steps should be taken to pay amount to farmers within 48 hours, ordered the JC. District Civil Supply Officer Rehman, Civil Supply department District Manager Lakshminarayana, DCO Chandraprakash Reddy, Project Manager Sunitha and concerned officials were present.
