ATM News Network: Like sugar, the central government should decide long-term policy for the export of onion from Maharashtra. Kuber Jadhav, Liaison Head of Maharashtra State Onion Producers Farmers Association, has appealed that steps should be taken to export at least 30 to 35 lakh tonnes of onion from Kharif and Rabi Seasons every year.
The state executives meeting of Swabhimani Shetkar Sangathan was held recently at Paithan under the leadership of MP Raju Shetty. At that time, Kuber Jadhav gave guidance on the production of onion and the price of onion.
The executive body alleged that the Shinde-Fadnavis government is not paying attention to the farmers' issues in the state. Agitation will be staged on behalf of the Swabhimani Farmers Association for issues like daytime electricity, increased proposed electricity rates of farm pumps, loot from sugarcane cutting, cotton, overdue sugarcane FRP, falling prices of onion, maize, crop insurance, compensation for heavy rains and arrears of incentive subsidy. They have also demanded that the police officers who attacked the peaceful protesting farmers in Buldhana without any reason should be investigated.
At this time, the state president of the Swabhimani Party Prof Dr Jalandhar Patil, Sandeep Jagtap, Prakash Balavadkar, Bhausaheb Thorat, Amar Kadam, Pooja More, Gajanan Bangale Patil, Prashant Dikkar, Ravi Ingole, Mauli Mule, Kuber Jadhav, Rajendra Shirasath, Nivritti Gare, Bhaidas Chaudhary and farmers were present in large numbers.
