Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao announced that Corn would be purchased at the Minimum Support Price OF Rs1850 Per Quintal through the Purchasing Centres created for the Paddy in the villages.

The CM said purchases will be made through the Markfed and urged farmers to utilise the opportunity. The CM was upset over some farmers cultivating the Maize in this rainy season despite his appeal not to do so. Hence, the government has no responsibility to buy the Corn. But yet, with the sole intention that farmers should not be put to loss, the government has decided to bear the loss and purchase the Corn from farmers at the MSP.
