Commission of marketing societies increased by Govt

by Haryananewswire (Balbir)
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.
