Yasangi paddy procurement crosses 50 lakh MTs in Telangana : Minister Uttam

Hyderabad, May 16 (UNI) The Congress government in Telangana, doing procurement at an unprecedented pace, has achieved a record by procuring over 50 lakh metric tonnes of paddy in the ongoing Rabi (Yasangi) season as of May 15, 2025 - double the quantity procured during the same period under the previous BRS regime.
This was claimed by Civil Supplies Minister Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy during a high-level video conference with District Collectors and senior officials held at Dr B.R. Ambedkar Secretariat here on Friday.

This year, in the ongoing Rabi 2024–25 season, procurement has reached 49.53 LMT by mid-May, a historic high and a clear reflection of the Congress government’s commitment to farmers.
