Sharing this information here today, an official spokesperson informed that the outstanding amount of Rs 46.34 crore for the year 2023-24 has been successfully disbursed to the farmers under the scheme. In addition, farmers have been advised that if potato prices fall, they should consider storing their crops in cold storage to safeguard their produce and income.
