Weight Covered Paddy Grower

in #food7 years ago

Aman crop is good in Patgram upazila of Lalmonirhat. Rice prices also rise. But the farmers are being cheated by the traders when they sell them in the market. The traders complained that taking 2-3 kg of paddy more than the cost per head.

In view of the allegations, in November last year, the mobile court was conducted by the Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) and Executive Officer Hakim Noor Kutubul Alam. At the time, some merchants were fined for the loss of weight. But now the allegations are being rigged again.

Gafur Ali of Kamat village said, "There is a lot of rice paddy, a paddy rice has been grown in the house. The house is made of rice 37 kg. Hummer does not profit. Omarala (businessman) has got the money so that the money can not be raised. '

According to the office of Upazila Agriculture Extension Department, there are 216060 hectares of land in Patgram. Aman was cultivated in 19,660 hectares of land this year. The rice production is about 83 thousand metric tons.

Sitting on Sunday and Thursday at Rasulganj Hat Week. Buying 50-60 trucks in another district takes place in every district, and buyers and traders take it to another district. On Sunday, it was found that, in the Rasulganj market, the market was being sold at 970 to 990 rupees per maund.

Farmers who came in the market said that while they brought 40 kg of rice, traders showed them 37 to 38 kgs during the time of weight. As a result, they are losing their weight from 70 to 80 rupees per month.

Some traders of Hat said, the marketers came to buy rice from different districts of the country. To compete with them in the current market, there is some rigidity in weight.

Upazila administration sources said that some members of the Upazila monthly law and order coordination meeting discussed a number of times with the issue of cheating on the arrival of paddy in the market. In view of the complaint, the mobile court conducted a mobile court in November last year, UNO Noor Qutubul Alam. Then a few merchants were fined for weight gain.

When asked, UNO Noor Kutubul Alam said, "Mobile courts will be launched in the market to catch the business again."
