Punjab hybrid rice ban to cost farmers up to Rs 10,000 per acre, says industry body FSII

NEW DELHI: (Apr 29) The Federation of Seed Industry of India (FSII) on Tuesday sought the Centre’s intervention in the Punjab government’s ban on hybrid paddy seeds, warning of significant income losses for farmers as the kharif sowing season approaches.

FSII Chairman Ajai Rana said the April 7 ban could reduce farmer incomes by Rs 8,000-10,000 per acre.

“By blocking these seeds, the state is effectively writing off roughly one month’s income of a small farmer’s earnings,” Rana said in a statement.
