The Birgunj branch of the Food Management and Trading Company Limited has reached its target of purchasing rice for this year.
The branch has purchased 9,217 quintals of 20 kg of paddy as of Monday. Branch chief Pankaj Kumar Jha said that the target has been reached as the quota for purchasing 10,000 quintals of paddy has been reached this year.
The branch started purchasing paddy from Poush 6 this year. This year, tokens were distributed to 275 farmers for purchasing paddy, but some of them did not come, so paddy is currently being purchased from farmers on the waiting list, he said. It is estimated that the target of paddy purchase will be met within at least a week and at most within the month of Magh.
The branch had distributed paddy purchase tokens at the rate of 40 quintals to each farmer. This year, farmers from Parsa, Bara, Rautahat and Sarlahi have brought paddy for sale to the branch. This year too, the branch is purchasing only Sona Mansuli paddy. The support price of Sona Mansuli paddy has been fixed by the federal government at Rs 3,628.33 per quintal this year, so the branch is also purchasing at the same price.
