Rice pre-booking to lock prices; Telangana farmers get ₹3,000-₹3,500 per quintal in open markets
By K. Shiva Shanker5 min read at The Hindu
In brief
Farmers in Telangana are increasingly selling paddy in open markets for ₹3,000–₹3,500 per quintal due to higher prices, a trend known as pre-booking.
This shift contrasts with the previous season when farmers had to wait weeks at government procurement centres.
The rise in prices is linked to El Nino-triggered water shortages and state appeals to reduce Rabi sowing.
