M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, authorized compensation of up to 20,000 per hectare for crops that were ready for harvest during the kuruvai, kar, and sornavari seasons but instead were completely wrecked by the recent tragic rains that battered various parts of the state.
Mr. Stalin also issued orders to officials to deliver agricultural input provision estimated at $6,038 per hectare to farmers whose samba crops had already been damaged, including an announcement today. 45 kg paddy seeds for short-duration varieties, 25 kg compost, 60 kg urea, and 125 kg DAP fertilizers would be included in the input supply.
