ìThe rates of petrol and diesel are spitalling upwards almost every day. The Union and state governments that have been promising to double the income of farmers are now giving us this kind of a shock,î said Sirohi.
Sirohi said that farmers get DAP at subsidised rates. The increased rate of Rs 1,900 is the subsidised rate. ìMy sources say that these rates could be further increased to Rs 2,100,î he said.
The corona-induced lockdown has added to the problems of farmers in selling their produce. The price of diesel has been increasing and now the rate of DAP being increasedóall these factors combined would have an adverse impact on both the farmers and the agriculture sector, he added.
