Like moong, procure basmati also at MSP, demands Kiran Choudhry

Chandigarh, Oct 14 (UNI) Haryana Congress Legislature Party leader Kiran Choudhry today asked the state government to also mop up long grain varieties of basmati on the lines of moong from the mandis as the producers of such varieties of basmati are being forced to do distress selling and are getting much less than the MSP.
In a statement here, the former excise and taxation minister said while in 2013-14, basmati prices peaked to Rs 4,300 per quintal, this year the farmers are not able to get more than Rs 2,000 per quintal. A farmer sold his produce for as low as Rs 1,810 in Karnal the other day.
“If the state government can decide to procure moong at MSP, why not the long grain varieties of basmati”,she asked.
