Kendrapada farmers in India are being forced to sell paddy below the minimum support price (MSP) rates set by the government. The delay in purchasing by the government has affected the farmers' income. They have to transport paddy on boats across the Gobari river to sell their produce. Businessmen from Bengal and Andhra Pradesh are taking advantage of the situation and buying paddy at lower prices. The authorities are determined to address the issue and prevent distress sale of paddy.
