Chittoor Collector Requests Mango Pulp Industries to Raise Procurement Prices

During a recent coordination meeting with representatives from local mango pulp units, Sumit Kumar emphasized the importance of ensuring that mango farmers receive fair and remunerative prices for their produce. He expressed concern that the volatility of market prices could adversely affect farmers, leading to potential financial losses.

Kumar pointed out that establishing a stable pricing mechanism could help mitigate the impact of market fluctuations and provide farmers with a more secure income. He encouraged collaboration among stakeholders, including farmers, pulp producers, and government entities, to create a more resilient supply chain.

Mango production is a significant agricultural sector in the region, contributing to both local economies and the national export market. The meeting serves as a call to action for all parties involved to work together towards a sustainable agricultural framework that supports the livelihoods of farmers while maintaining industry viability.
