In the eastern and northern parts of Bihar, farmers grow a lot of food grains. But there are hardly any steel silos for proper storage, and in many districts, they don’t exist at all. Because of this, farmers are forced to sell their harvest right after cutting at a very low price. To solve this problem, it is important to set up steel silos in these areas so that grains can be stored safely, losses can be reduced, and farmers can get a fair price for their crops. |
