Officials said Andhra Pradesh received more than two lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers this season. The CM asked them to calculate crop-based requirements and actual usage. He urged continuous monitoring of supply, distribution, and usage to ensure farmers receive timely access.

Naidu suggested subsidies for farmers who reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, promoting sustainable practices. He asked officials to guarantee that horticulture crops get support prices matching cultivation costs, thereby protecting farmer incomes.

The CM also ordered quick action against new pest attacks in coffee plantations. After this session, he planned to review CRDA issues, including construction permits and Amaravati capital development.

Despite the central government offering subsidies between Rs. 2200 and Rs. 2400 on urea, Kishan Reddy questioned how this price discrepancy occurred and demanded an explanation from the Congress party.

Reddy emphasized that the government needs to ensure the proper distribution of fertilizers to avoid shortages. He also called for measures to ensure that every bag of urea reaches farmers without issues.

Additionally, Reddy criticized the Congress government for permitting illegal practices in the market. He highlighted that contractors have failed to settle their bills, causing delays in work and adding to the difficulties faced by farmers.

In response to the arrests of BJP leaders during a protest outside the Secretariat, Reddy expressed his anger. He urged the Congress government to take responsibility for the worsening situation and address the grievances of farmers.
