Telangana to sell parboiled rice directly to Kerala for quick pay
The State government contemplates supplying parboiled rice to Kerala to ensure that the produce is disposed of immediately apart from receiving cash inflows speedily.
Kerala, where certain varieties of parboiled rice are sought after, wants a supply of at least two lakh tonnes of these varieties. The Telangana government too is keen on supplying these varieties to Kerala rather than the Food Corporation of India (FCI) that procures from the government here.
