Telangana government is planning to set up food processing industries across the districts in the state, which is estimated to cost approximately Rs 2,000 crore. The food industries will convert paddy into products like rice and edible oil. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will soon lay the foundation stone for the project
The state has reached the top in paddy production in the country with the execution of a slew of agricultural development and farmer welfare programmes, allowing farmers to sell their products in the global market. Further, the government has already established procurement centres and set up food processing industries like rice mills to ensure more earnings from the harvested crop. In addition, under the policy to encourage food processing industries, the state government will establish and maintain rice mills under the supervision of the State Civil Supplies Corporation (SCSC)
The government will set up rice mills with the modern and technological capacity to process 60 and 120 tonne of rice per hour in each district. Moreover, to cultivate the crops, the government will support farmers by providing free electricity and irrigation water and subsidies by implementing farmer welfare schemes like 'Rythu Bandhu' and 'Rythu Bima'. Presently, the capacity of rice mills in the state to convert paddy into rice through CMR milling is around 75 lakh tonne
The ongoing projects such as Palamuru lift irrigation in the old Palamuru district, Brahmanavellemla in Nalgonda district, Gaura Velli in Dindi, Siddipet, Sitarama in Khammam district, Siricilla Malkapeta, Umamaheswara in Atchampeta is likely to completed soon
