Feed Bengal first, then export: Mamata Banerjee to keep regular watch on vegetable supplies
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee said the supply of vegetables like potatoes and onions to other states when Bengal’s produce can’t meet the state’s demand has sent vegetable prices on an upward spiral.
The state government, she said, will keep a regular watch on what is being suppliefrom Bengal and the state’s daily requirements and instructed officials to keep her posted.
“I had said that till the new harvest arrived and our demand was met, potatoes should not leave the state. Now I see they have started exporting the crop,” Mamata said at a review meeting with three ministers and several senior officials, including the chief secretary and the director general of police.
“Please keep stock and you need to inform me from time to time,” Mamata said at the televised meeting. “I have no qualms if they export potatoes after meeting our state’s demand.
Kintu Bangla-i daam baariey onyya jaiga theke munafa korbo, hobe na (I will not allow them to make profit from elsewhere and let the prices increase in Bengal).”
Bengal, along with Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, is a top potato-producing state with an annual production of around 13 million tonnes. But unseasonal rain that followed Cyclone Dana, which made landfall in Odisha impacted the arrival of the new crop.
As a result, the prices of the old crop in cold storage have shot up, senior state government officials said.
