Farmers’ Plea for CBI Probe
The farmers claim that despite repeated complaints to the state agriculture department, no action has been taken against the officials involved in the alleged scam. They believe that a CBI investigation is the only way to bring the culprits to justice and recover the losses. According to the farmers, the irregularities occurred between 2015 and 2022, and they are demanding that the authorities take action against the contractors and officials involved.
Poor Quality Plants Affecting Yield…
The farmers are also complaining about the poor quality of plants supplied by Oil Fed, which is affecting the yield. The plants are not giving the expected output, and the farmers are struggling to recover their investments. The average yield per acre is only around 5 tons, which is much lower than expected. This has led to a loss of faith in Oil Fed among the farmers.
Demand for Action…
The Ashwaraopeta Oil Palm Growers’ Society has demanded that the poor quality plants be destroyed and that Oil Fed takes over the nursery management from private contractors. The society believes that this is the only way to ensure that the farmers get high-quality plants and that the oil palm cultivation in the region is revived. The society has also appealed to the authorities to take immediate action to address the issue.
New Nurseries: The Only Solution
The farmers believe that setting up new nurseries with high-quality seeds is the only way to revive the oil palm cultivation in the region. They are urging the authorities to take immediate action to establish new nurseries and restore the farmers’ faith in Oil Fed. The society has submitted a petition to the Divisional Officer, demanding action on the issue.
Farmers’ Determination
The farmers are determined to get justice and are willing to take their fight to the highest authorities. They believe that a CBI investigation will bring out the truth and help them recover their losses. The farmers are also demanding that the authorities take action against the officials involved in the alleged scam and recover the losses from them.
