Haryana Cooperative Supply and Marketing Federation’s (HAFED) new paddy milling system is paying rich dividend as the Federation is likely to get Rs 60 lakh more as milling charges during current kharif marketing season, campared to last kharif season, from the private rice mills.
While stating this on Thursday, a spokesman of HAFED said that 12 rice mills of Hafed, which were being run on private-public partnership mode were located at Radaur, Ladwa, Pehowa, Dhand, Kalayat, Jakhal, Ratia, Ding,Kalanwali, Rania, Pillukhera and Samalkha.
He said that with a view to further streamline its rice milling activity and to create healthy competition and transparency in the system, HAFED has adopted open bidding system to run its rice mills in association with private parties. HAFED kept a floor bid price of Rs13 per qtl for raw rice milling against uniform rate of Rs12 per qtl of paddy received last year, he added.
As a result of the new system HAFED will get bids between Rs13 to Rs25 per qtl.
