Naiduniya News, Barvet. Due to the wrong policies of the government for the last several years, soybean producing farmers are facing a lot of disappointment. The situation is such that the price of soybean is now even lower than the rate at which it was being sold 10 years ago.

Soybean is being sold below the support price in the market and in the mandis. The soybean season is going to start after one and a half months. Before this, farmers are getting angry about the price of soybean. There is anger among the farmers due to not getting a fair price for the crop.

It is worth noting that the main crop of the farmers of this region is soybean. Soybean is cultivated the most here in the Kharif season. That is why it is known as yellow gold. Soybean is the main crop sown in large quantities by the farmers in the Kharif season.

Farmers have now started a campaign on social media demanding a fair price for soybean. The effect of this campaign has started showing.

But soybean is being purchased by the mandis and traders at a price much lower than this price. Due to which the farmers are facing a loss of about one thousand to thirteen hundred rupees. While on the other hand, new soybean is going to arrive after two and a half months. Farmers are getting Rs 4000 per quintal in the mandis. It will be difficult for the farmers to even recover the cost.
