Andhra Pradesh tobacco growers relief

Entities: Tobacco Board · Flue‑Cured Virginia tobacco · Nitin Kumar Yadav · Andhra Pradesh · N. Chandrababu Naidu

Overview

On 25 July, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu met senior officials of India’s Ministry of Commerce to discuss support for the state’s tobacco farmers. The Union presented three measures – interest‑free working‑capital loans, financial incentives and a price‑deficiency compensation scheme – and Naidu pressed for a longer‑term strategy, including the option to store tobacco for one‑to‑two years to smooth price volatility.

The following day, a delegation led by Additional Secretary Nitin Kumar Yadav visited Andhra Pradesh. The team reviewed the market situation for flue‑cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco, inspected the Tobacco Board’s electronic auction platform, and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to monitor market trends and stabilise farmer incomes. Both meetings continued the dialogue on a coordinated, short‑ to medium‑term plan to protect tobacco growers in the region.
