Telangana Plans Scientific Silo Network to Support Paddy Farmers
The Telangana government plans to establish a modern network of scientific silos to protect paddy farmers from distress sales and post-harvest losses. Two models are proposed: direct silo construction by the Telangana State Civil Supplies Corporation using loans, and private sector participation supported by rental guarantees. The initiative aims to preserve grain quality, enable better prices for premium paddy varieties, and improve farmers' financial returns. Officials have been directed to finalize financial and operational details promptly.
