Overview
- Government buying restarted in Adilabad with Markfed paying Rs 3,699 per quintal for jowar.
- The restart follows days of stoppages blamed on shortages of gunny bags, trucks and storage, with maize-filled godowns forcing open-air stacking and long waits.
- Farmers reported 56,000 bags sitting at centres in Kubeer mandal and warned that a sudden rain could spoil the grain.
- Officials plan additional procurement centres in Talamadugu and Bhempur to move stock faster.
- Farmers protested delays and asked the state to raise the 10‑quintal‑per‑acre cap because many report yields near 15.
