States seek more urea; Centre says supply exceeds requirement this season
Several states participating in a virtual meeting with Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday demanded additional urea to meet growing demand. The minister directed them to take strict action against hoarders and black marketers, stating that the Centre is supplying more fertiliser than required by the states this season. He also urged states to accurately map fertiliser requirements for the forthcoming rabi sowing season. 'There could be two main reasons for the increased demand for urea: first, an increase in the sowing of rice, maize, and other crops due to good rainfall; second, possible misuse of urea for non-agricultural purposes,' Chouhan said. He added that if the demand is genuinely for farming needs, urea will certainly be supplied, and the ministry is working promptly on this. However, if there is any suspicion of misuse, it will be treated as a serious matter, inviting strict action. Chouhan urged all state agriculture ministers to ensure proper use of urea by forming monitoring committees and strengthening oversight mechanisms to track fertiliser distribution and prevent non-agricultural use. The minister said the next rabi conference will be held in Delhi on 15–16 September. On the first day, central and state government officials will draw up a roadmap for rabi crops and discuss seed and fertiliser availability for the season. He added that an action plan for the agriculture sector for the next five years will be prepared, with suggestions from progressive farmers and experts, during the next phase of the 'Vikshit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan', which will start on 3 October after Dussehra. Chouhan also announced that no permission will be granted for the sale of bio-stimulants until they are scientifically verified. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the much-talked-about Natural Agriculture Mission from Delhi on 23 August.

Ryots' Commission chairman urges Centre to link NREGS with farm operations
HYDERABAD Telangana Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Commission chairman M. Kodanda Reddy has urged Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to link the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) with agricultural work to support small and marginal farmers. In a letter handed over personally during the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan in Hyderabad on Monday, said over 85% of India's farmers fall into the small and marginal category and face challenges like high input costs, lack of mechanisation and labour shortages during peak seasons. who held the agriculture portfolio in the Congress governments in combined Andhra Pradesh during 1989-94, said integrating MGNREGS with farming could ease the labour cost burden and ensure timely operations such as sowing, weeding, harvesting and post-harvest activities. The move would also provide meaningful employment and skill development for MGNREGS workers, while promoting small tools and suitable mechanisation through a dedicated scheme. In a separate letter, he requested Central funding for the revival of Telangana's minor irrigation tanks under schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (per drop more crop), the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund, or a special package for restoration of water bodies. Minister for Agriculture Tummala Nageswara Rao also submitted letters to the Union Minister, seeking a regional office of the Coconut Development Board in Telangana, empanelment of oil palm nursery suppliers, a minimum price of ₹25,000 per tonne for oil palm bunches, a review of import duty cuts on crude edible oil and ₹100 crore for the State's horticultural university.
