Collector urges mango farmers not to panic, procurement will continue till August
The Chittoor district administration on Tuesday reiterated support measures for Totapuri mango growers, including the fixation of a procurement price of ₹12 per kg, to resolve the mounting concerns among farmers. District Collector Sumit Kumar addressing a review meeting with officials of the agriculture, horticulture, marketing, and line departments said that the government would always protect the interests of the farmers amid low market demand. The Collector said that Totapuri mangoes were being cultivated across 98,000 acres in the district, with a production of about five lakh metric tonnes. But, with only 27 of the 35 local processing units currently working and retention of last year's pulp with the units at 40,000 tonnes, the demand from pulp industries had dipped sharply. 'As of now, 38,000 tonnes of Totapuri mangoes have been supplied to factories in the last eight days. The procurement will continue till August, and there is no need for distress sales of the mangoes,' the Collector said, appealing to the farmers to cooperate by staggering harvests and avoiding overloading factories. The State government issued orders on June 6, announcing a base price of ₹12 per kg, including ₹8 from processing units and a ₹4 subsidy to be directly transferred to farmers' bank accounts. 'Mangoes sold at designated ramps and market yards are eligible for the support price,' the Collector said. Senior officials are deployed at the pulp units round the clock to register farmer details, including Aadhaar and bank accounts. 'We will ensure timely subsidy disbursal to all,' Mr. Kumar said. Meanwhile, the district administration has set up a control room with helplines 08572-242777, 9491077325.
