Keralam Agriculture Department to Enhance Market Interventions to Control Price Rise
The Keralam agriculture department plans to increase market interventions to prevent artificial price rises in vegetables and essential commodities during festive and pilgrimage seasons, aiming to protect consumers and farmers. Minister T Siddique highlighted the success of the 'Onasamriddhi' farmers' markets, which used digital systems for sales and payments. The government has cleared most dues to farmers and will continue efforts to ensure fair prices and smooth procurement, including a coconut revival project and upcoming state-level events.
