Four centres in Mandya dist register zero business
Coconut procurement centres established at four places across the district two months back have found no takers. The farmers have not shown any interest to take/sell their produce at the centres.
The Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) had set up four centres at Maddur, Pandavapura, K R Pet and Nagamangala APMC yards to procure coconut/copra from farmers at a mimimum support price fixed by the government.
The government had fixed Rs 1,600 per quintal following the price crash in open market and had also released Rs 1 crore for the same.
It is said, due to price hike in the open market and unfriendly policies, farmers have stayed away from the centres. When a kg of coconut was being sold at Rs five and when farmers were suffering losses, there was a demand for scientific price and procurement centres. But, the delay in setting up the centres resulted in zero business. By the time the centres were opened, the price in the open market went up.
Though the amount will be paid through bank accounts immediately after they sell coconuts, farmers are reluctant to do business as they need to furnish a few documents.
APMC Deputy Director Yoganand said, they could not purchase a single coconut since the establishment of the centres in the district. The state government has already released funds to buy coconuts, he said. Horticultural Producers’ Co-operative Marketing and Processing Society (HOPCOMS) has appointed designated officers to check the quality of coconuts and only nuts certified by them will be procured. But, not even a single farmer has turned up at the centres, said Mandya HOPCOMS Assistant Director Shashidar.
