AP: Ex-CM Jagan Reddy demands average price for tobacco produce

Ongole, June 11 (UNI) Reiterating that farmers are in distress and two tobacco farmers committed suicide as they could not get any help from the coalition government, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy demanded that the State rope in Markfed as a buyer in the auction and ensure average price to the farmers, failing which they will launch an agitation.

Speaking to media after interacting with tobacco farmers at the Tobacco Board here on Wednesday, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the tobacco prices have drastically fallen from the previous year and with no help coming from the State government, two farmers one in Paruchuru and the other from Kondepi had committed suicide and yet the government which had given permission to increase the extent of cultivation by around 20 per cent has miserably failed to provide MSP.
