Rice exports problems owed to Centre’s lack of foresight - Minister Niranjan Reddy
S Niranjan Reddy, the minister of agriculture, stated on friday that the misunderstanding around rice exports and the following shipping restrictions reeked of a lack of forethought on the part of the federal government.
He emphasised that the Centre had turned down a request for rice six months prior on the grounds that it had sufficient stocks, an evident allusion to the panic purchase of rice by the indian diaspora in various countries brought on by the restriction on the export of non-Basmati white rice. However, it later forbade the export of rice. On the fourth day of his visit to the US, he was giving a speech at a meet-and-greet event hosted by telangana NRIs in Washington, DC.

Speaking at the event, he claimed that the NRIs had been crucial to the statehood campaign. The foundation of telangana was built on a great deal of sacrifice. We were able to do miracles throughout the reconstruction of the new state, as demanded by the Chief minister, the state's architect. By every means, the growth's pace was maintained. The irrigation sector's profile altered with the creation of the new state.
The ponds and tiny irrigation sources were revitalised during the Mission Kakatiya. The engineer of the Central Water Resources Commission praised the kaleshwaram project, which was built by the State government and was a feat of engineering. telangana has gone a long way to become a state that offered promise for the nation. It is the country's major producer of food grains, which feed millions of people. In terms of rice output, it has even overtaken the State of Punjab.
In order to help farmers, he argued, agriculture must become more like uber in order to suit their needs. He welcomed new agricultural advancements and promised to support agricultural exports. Telangana's climate and lands make it possible to cultivate a variety of crops. The state government promotes the growth of oil palms. Producing edible oils independently is possible if farmers are given the necessary assistance.
He thanked the state's NRIs for their assistance and asserted that the state could maintain its biodiversity while advancing quickly in the production of meat and fish. The state villages were now independent.
