Hon. Kaveenthiran Kodeeswaran raised concerns about the lack of adequate warehousing facilities and a fair price-setting mechanism for paddy following harvest. He argued that farmers are experiencing financial losses as a result of these systemic deficiencies, and urged the Government to immediately establish a fair price for paddy and begin prompt procurement.

Give me one more minute, please. Despite harvesting, there are no proper warehousing facilities or a fair purchasing mechanism, and prices are not set fairly. Farmers are suffering and incurring losses. I urge the Government to immediately determine a fair price and commence prompt procurement of paddy. Thank you.
