Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Silos will save the Farmers from Suicide

 Silos will save the Farmers from Suicide

=======================================

Only yesterday , a TV channel showed 40,000 tons of wheat ( procured by FCI ) stored in the open , completely destroyed by rains and rendered unsuitable for human consumption – enough to feed 80 lakh poor people for one month !

For many decades, FCI has neglected to solve this problem by constructing silos, as observed in my following blogs :

Selling Farm Laws before selling Farm Crops…….. [ 24 Sept 2020 ]
https://lnkd.in/efB5t2V

Extract :

We will urge companies entering into CONTRACT FARMING agreements with a farmer, to construct on the farm premises of that farmer
   
     GRAIN STORAGE SILOS / COLD STORAGE ROOMS , 

   to enable a farmer to store his produce for a longer period, without
   perishing under our harsh climate.
 
   We will allow the concerned  Companies to set off expenses incurred in  constructing these facilities towards their CSR obligations.
