MP Avinash Reddy brought attention to a growing crisis facing farmers across Andhra Pradesh, emphasizing the urgent need for the government to implement Minimum Support Price (MSP) for key crops such as rice, banana, sugar, and onion.
Speaking on the issue, Reddy highlighted that the absence of MSP for these major crops has resulted in widespread financial distress among the farming community. Farmers, who work tirelessly to ensure food security for the state, are now struggling to cover their costs, threatening their livelihoods and the long-term sustainability of agriculture in the region.
Reddy stressed that government intervention is critical to safeguard farmers from exploitation and ensure fair market prices. He pointed out that when MSP is not guaranteed, farmers are forced to sell their produce at lower rates, leaving them vulnerable to economic instability.
In addition to advocating for immediate MSP implementation, Reddy called for additional support measures, such as financial assistance, access to modern farming technology, and better infrastructure for storage and distribution. These initiatives, he noted, would not only secure farmers’ income but also contribute to strengthening the overall agricultural economy of Andhra Pradesh.
As a committed representative of the people of Kadapa, Avinash Reddy reiterated that protecting farmers’ welfare remains a top priority. Through persistent advocacy and engagement with state authorities, he aims to ensure that agriculture continues to thrive and that the farmers, who are the backbone of the state, receive the respect and support they deserve.
Reddy’s statement has resonated strongly with local communities, who view his efforts as a proactive step toward empowering farmers, improving rural livelihoods, and fostering sustainable growth in Andhra Pradesh’s agricultural sector.
