AP farmers' body seeks incentives

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , June 23

THE Federation of Farmers' Associations (FFA) has asked the Andhra Pradesh Government to release Rs 15,000 each for the Ryhtu Mithra groups that performed well, as promised by it two years ago.

Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Mr Manda Balram Reddy, President of the FFA, said the Government had issued a directive in June 2003, sanctioning Rs 15,000 to the `performing' groups.

Listing FFA's demands, he said that the poor and unreliable power supply caused hardship to farmers growing commercial crops. "The Government should ensure reliable and quality power for at least seven hours and come to the rescue of these farmers," he said.
