I’ve written to Union Agriculture Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan regarding the crisis faced by mango farmers in Karnataka:

• Market prices have crashed from ₹12,000 to ₹3,000 per quintal
• Cost of cultivation is ₹5,466 per quintal
• Farmers can’t recover even basic input costs
• Thousands are under severe financial stress

I’ve urged immediate implementation of:

• Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS)
• Market Intervention Scheme (MIS)

The Centre must act without delay. This is about protecting livelihoods:
