Abstract

Despite serious allegations leveled against rice by the environmentalists, it is rather impossible to root it out of the state. An important workable solution can be to replace non-basmati rice with basmati rice which would improve the product quality, reduce the volume and make it more exportable and lesser eco-unfriendly. However, it needs to ascertain profitability to the farmers, at least equivalent to non-basmati rice through minimum price support.
