BHUBANESWAR : With no firm commitment from the state government for grant of input subsidy to farmers supplying certified seeds to the Odisha State Seeds Corporation (OSSC), seed growers are seriously contemplating to dispose of their stock in the open market.
Even as OSSC has procured about one lakh quintal of certified seeds from farmers registered with it for the next kharif season, none of the farmers have received input subsidy of Rs 800 per quintal over and above the seed price of Rs 2,921 per quintal.
