The Andhra Pradesh government has introduced a new mobile application aimed at simplifying the procurement of paddy from farmers across the state.
The state government of Andhra Pradesh announced the rollout of a dedicated mobile application designed to manage paddy procurement directly with farmers. The platform will allow growers to register their produce, receive real‑time price updates and schedule deliveries through a digital interface, reducing reliance on traditional middlemen.
Officials said the app integrates with existing procurement mechanisms of the Department of Agriculture, enabling transparent price discovery and faster payment settlements. By digitising the transaction chain, the government expects to cut administrative delays, minimise leakages and improve price realization for cultivators.
The launch ceremony was attended by senior officials who emphasized that the tool will be rolled out statewide over the next few weeks, with training sessions planned for farmer groups. The department will monitor usage metrics and adjust features based on feedback, aiming for broader adoption before the upcoming Kharif sowing season.
