Seventeenth Loksabha > Title: Regarding preservation of agricultural products and improvement of supply chain in Alathur Parliamentary Constituency.
KUMARI RAMYA HARIDAS (ALATHUR) : Speaker Sir, my Constituency, Alathur, is mainly an agriculture-based area where paddy and various types of vegetables are cultivated. But our poor farmers do not get even minimum price for the agricultural products. Many vegetables and fruits are coming from a nearby area which is highly polluted. We are cultivating all types of vegetables and fruits through organic method. Unfortunately, we do not have any facility to preserve these products. We do not have any modern type of cold storage facility to preserve the vegetables and fruits. So, I request the Central Government to allow a modern type of procurement centre to preserve agricultural products and improve the supply chain to help the poor farmers in my area, Alathur. Thank you.
