He exposed this while answering a question arose at the parliament today(03).

An amount of Rs.50.00 will be paid per one Kilo of paddy and the extent of the purchasing paddy from each one will be limited for 2000 Kilo grams with the sole purpose of extending this benefit to many more farmers.

And further he said National Agricultural Authority with full powers will be established and warehouses facilities also will be developed.
