Predicting the reduction of rice production costs in Langarud
The director of Jihad Keshavarzi of Langarud city said: it is predicted that next year, with the increase of mechanized production of rice, we will see a decrease in the production cost of this product.
Mohammad Baqer Qasempour stated: One of the important tasks of this office is to reduce the cost of rice prices for farmers, and winter plowing and mechanized rice production have a great impact on reducing the production of this product.
He added: So far, winter plowing has been done in 30% of the paddy fields of this city, and with the rains that we are facing, winter plowing by farmers will be accelerated.
Qasempour continued: Winter plowing causes management and saving water consumption for rice production, and in addition, with mechanized cultivation, the production of this crop can be largely removed from farmers.
He pointed out: Last year, rice transplanting was mechanized in 68% of the paddy fields of this city and it is predicted that 73% of these lands will be allocated to mechanized rice transplantation this year.
The director of Jihad Keshavarzi of Langarud city stated: At present, there are 195 agricultural machines for mechanized rice cultivation in this city and they are ready for mechanized rice production.
He added: Langarud has 9,100 hectares of paddy lands and 19,000 people work in these lands, which are often smallholders.
Ghasempour added: Last year, farmers raised more rattan to increase rice income, and due to the good selling price of rice, they earned a good income from doing so.
He reminded: Another occupation that can effectively help increase the income of paddy farmers is noghandari, and last year rice farmers increased noghand production by 32%.
Qasempour pointed out: Noghandari is a family business and is environmentally friendly and makes farmers have the necessary liquidity in the rice production process.
He said: Last year, 5,500 boxes of Noghan eggs were distributed among the farmers of Langarud, and this year, it is predicted that more paddy farmers will apply for Noghandari and more Noghan eggs will be distributed.
