CHANDIGARH, OCT 16
The Haryana Government has
decided to make an increase of 33 per cent in the commission being given
to
cooperative marketing societies of HAFED on wheat purchased through
HAFED.
While
disclosing this here today, Mr Satpal Sangwan, Cooperation Minister said
that
commission of marketing societies had now been increased to Rs 1.33 per
quintal
from rupee one per quintal. The decision would strengthen the economy of
the
cooperative marketing societies. For the last ten years, rupee one was
being
given as commission on purchase of wheat to the marketing societies
which were
repeatedly demanding increase in the commission.
HAFED
had also decided to bear the expenses of loading and unloading of urea
fertilizers being supplied to the cooperative marketing societies to
minimize
their financial burden. The basic objective of HAFED was not to earn
profit, but
serve the farmers by providing them fertilizers, seeds and pesticides on
time
and ensuring them remunerative prices for their produce.
