00:00As the days go by, the price of potatoes is rising.

00:06The price of potatoes is increasing as the price of potatoes is increasing in Bhim Raj.

00:10So, it is necessary to stop the production of potatoes in Bhim Raj and start a police procession.

00:15The work of planting potatoes is almost over.

00:18Tons of potato seeds imported from Punjab are now stored in the warehouse.

00:25The unimaginable incident of the potato seed business.

00:30Among the potato producing districts of the state, Bangkora is the highest.

00:34Among Bangkora, in Jaipur, Kotalpur, Indus, Patrasahe, Sonamukhi and Vishnupur blocks,

00:41most of the potatoes are produced.

00:44The farmers of this area depended on the potato seeds imported from Punjab.

00:50But now the picture has changed.

00:53Tons of potato seeds are still stored in the warehouse of the farmers.

01:00The potato seeds of Punjab, worth Rs 2,500, are now being sold for Rs 500.

01:07So, the farmers are financially destitute.

01:14We have stocked a lot of seeds.

01:16Earlier, we used to sell seeds for Rs 2,500.

01:23Now, we sell seeds for Rs 506.

01:26We have sold a lot of seeds.

01:29Now, we are facing a loss.

01:31We don't know how to repay the loan of the bank.

01:36How much stock do you have?

01:38We have stock worth Rs 800.

01:42Why did you sell the seeds this year?

01:44The seeds did not sell this year.

01:46I think the price of the seeds is going down.

01:49Did the price of the seeds go up in other years?

01:52Yes, the price of the seeds went down in other years.

01:55This year, I think we will have to sell the seeds.

02:00According to the farmers,

02:02at the beginning of March, there was no shortage of Punjab's potato seeds.

02:06As a result, many farmers have collected seeds from the cold storage.

02:13At the beginning of the main season,

02:17we collected seeds from the store and planted them on the ground.

02:25As a result, the quantity of seeds has increased.

02:34Now, the Punjab's potato seeds are stocked.

02:37To avoid this, we have used the seeds from the store.

02:42Now, we can plant the seeds.

02:45Debkumar, the head of the Department of Agriculture, Bakura district, says...

02:58We don't have any problem with the potato.

03:00The target of planting potatoes is 48,000 hectares.

03:04Out of that, we have planted 43,500 hectares.

03:07We have covered almost 90 percent.

03:09We hope that we will be able to meet the target of planting potatoes.

03:14The farmers have already sold the seeds.

03:17We don't know where they got the potatoes from.

03:25The farmers are getting good seeds.

03:28If they buy more, we will have to pay for it.

03:35It is our responsibility to provide good seeds to the farmers.

03:41The potato seeds business is facing a lot of problems.

03:44How much potato seeds can they sell from Punjab?

03:48That is the question now.
