00:00In Uttar Pradesh's Farkhawad district, ETV Bharat's team has reached Uttar Pradesh's biggest market, Satyanpur Market.
00:07Here, we are sitting with the head of the market, Mr. Suraj Sahay Saxena.
00:10We would like to ask him, what is the debate going on and what has been decided?
00:13First of all, we welcome you to ETV Bharat.
00:15Sir, please tell us what is the debate and what has been decided by you?
00:19Thank you very much for coming.
00:21We have asked the farmers to pay 50 kilos for 50 kilos of land.
00:27We have asked the farmers to pay 50 kilos for 50 kilos of land.
00:36If there is any kind of negligence in this, then we have appointed four people for this.
00:41Mr. Pransu Mishra, Mrs. Aarti Devi, Mr. Sunil Verma, Mr. Ajay.
00:47They will investigate this.
00:49If there is any kind of negligence in this, then they will investigate this.
00:55Some farmers, when ETV Bharat's team came here,
00:58some farmers were saying that the situation is still the same.
01:01We are taking our potatoes out.
01:03So, in these conditions, some people are saying that they are farmers of the organization.
01:07Or people are making such allegations.
01:10So, some farmers from ETV Bharat have also said that we are taking our potatoes out.
01:13So, in this condition, this decision has not been made even today.
01:16So, what?
01:17The important thing is that in Farkhawad, many farmers' organizations are run.
01:21And keeping in mind everyone's demands, we are working on that.
01:25Because the farmer is the breadwinner of the country.
01:28And we are the children of the farmer.
01:30And we are working for the benefit of the farmer.
01:32We have also spoken to the businessmen.
01:34And we have also spoken to the farmers' leaders.
01:36They said that the time is till Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
01:39Before that, we have implemented it today.
01:41From tomorrow, the weighing of 50 kilos is being done.
01:43And whoever is negligent in this, we will take care of it.
01:47What points have you discussed?
01:49Tell ETV Bharat in detail.
01:51What are the points on which you are working for the benefit of the farmers?
01:55The main demand of them is that since the time the market has been built,
01:59they have been getting some difference in weight.
02:01This is their belief.
02:03So, we have made a physical statement.
02:05It is clear that the weight of 50 kilos will be the weight of 50 kilos only.
02:09In that, you can take the weight of the packet on one side and the weight of the packet on the other side.
02:14Apart from the packet, you will not get any other weight.
02:18The businessmen say that the potatoes brought by the farmers have soil in them.
02:24Or there are chopped green potatoes.
02:27So, in those conditions, taking 50 kilos is not a problem.
02:31The demand of the businessmen is that the potatoes of 50 kilos,
02:34we will take after sieving the chopped ones.
02:36So, we believe that they should clean themselves and weigh 50 kilos of potatoes.
02:39We have no problem.
02:41The price of potatoes should be decided beforehand that we will give this rate at 50 kilos.
02:44We will give the rate.
02:45We will clean it and weigh 50 kilos.
02:47We have no problem in that.
02:49What is the advice given for open talk?
02:52Is there an open talk in the market that the farmers can get the rate?
02:57There is an open talk twice in the market.
02:59In this, Prantu Mishra and Arti ji, through the Mandi Nizhik,
03:02and the businessmen also cooperate together and give information to the farmers and make their open talk.
03:07In this, there is no problem in any open talk.
03:11Their problem is only in the potatoes.
03:14The farmers have to say that we will not let the chopped ones go.
03:19The businessmen have to say that if we leave the chopped ones, how will we take 50 kilos?
03:22We also have to send the potatoes.
03:24Is there a manual arrangement for the farmers?
03:27What is the online arrangement?
03:29The farmers are educated.
03:32Not manually, but everything is online.
03:35In this, we also issue coupons.
03:41In this, we request the Mandi Nizhik to educate the farmers.
03:47And the Mandi Nizhik should take advantage of the manual arrangement.
03:52How many farmers come to the Mandi Nizhik to buy potatoes?
03:56How many farmers are there in total?
03:59At present, 60 to 70 vehicles are loading potatoes.
04:03So you can get an idea.
04:05In a trolley, more than 60 to 70 kilos of potatoes come.
04:08Accordingly, you can put an average of 2 to 3 farmers on a trolley.
04:12Sometimes there are small trucks, so 5 to 6 farmers come in one trolley.
04:17The farmers come in a good number.
04:20Where do the potatoes come from?
04:23Potatoes are not being exported because the policy of exporting potatoes is for foreign countries.
04:27And no potatoes have been exported from here.
04:30Potatoes are going to India.
04:32Which states are you going to?
04:34I am going to Assam and Bihar.
04:37What message would you like to convey to the farmers through TV Bharat?
04:41I request the farmers to educate the traders who buy from the Mandi Nizhik.
04:47By educating, you get a clear picture.
04:50If a trader causes you a payment issue, we will take immediate action against him.
04:56If a farmer complains to you in writing that he is being charged 50 kilos of potatoes and the receipt is being given to him, what will you do?
05:04If a farmer's goods are taken more and the payment of potatoes is reduced,
05:08we will take immediate action against him.
05:14He was with us at the Mandi.
05:16He said that whatever problem is coming, we will solve it as soon as possible and take action.
05:21Alok Dubey, ETV Bharat, Faruqabad.
