There's so much fraud in agriculture. I have to sell 15 quintals of wheat and the procurement centre is 17 km away. There tractors belonging to farmers are queued up there.
Those farmers who pay a bribe of 2-3 thousand rupees will have their tractors lined up first. And the others are forced to wait for 3 days at least.
Right now the farmer is unable to sell his produce and instead storing the wheat in his house, risking his produce even more. The longer the farmer waits, the more the risk and the longer his money is stuck, preventing him for planning his next season.
There are several farmers in the near by villages who are facing this crisis. Hence the request to the journalist friends and/or any media to kindly report and help escalate this issue
