✦AI Summary
Farmers' organizations in Tamil Nadu have expressed disappointment with the state's Agriculture Budget, citing a lack of promised crop loan waivers and insufficient procurement price increases. While some initiatives were welcomed, critics argue that financial allocations for these schemes remain inadequate.
The absence of announcements on implementing the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s poll promises on crop loan waiver and increasing the procurement price of paddy and sugarcane in the Agriculture Budget presented on Thursday has drawn widespread criticism from farmers’ organisations in the central region.
