MUMBAI, 4 Oct (Commoditiescontrol): Soybean farmers across Madhya Pradesh have been protesting for over a month, demanding a price hike to ₹6,000 per quintal. However, their struggles have worsened as heavy rainfall has damaged crops in several regions. In nearly 100 villages around Bhopal, excessive rain has ruined soybean fields, with many areas still waterlogged. As a result, soybean seeds in these fields have started to sprout prematurely, leading to further crop loss.

Farmers and local representatives are now urging authorities to conduct a survey to assess the damage and provide compensation. In the Berasia area, where conditions are particularly severe, both farmers and officials have requested immediate action. MLA Vishnu Khatri and District Panchayat member Vinay Meher have formally written to the district collector, Kaushalendra Vikram Singh, asking for a survey to be conducted. Khatri reported that more than 100 villages in his constituency have been heavily impacted by the rains, and farmers are calling for a comprehensive assessment to ensure they receive financial assistance.

Meher added that the Berasia region received unusually high rainfall, causing significant damage to soybean crops. Many fields remain submerged, with up to 70% of the crop destroyed. The sprouted soybean seeds are now unusable, leaving farmers with no viable harvest. After visiting the affected areas, Meher confirmed the severity of the situation.

The most affected villages include Khitwas, Juna Pani, Bagapura, Nidanpur, Chatahedi Babachiya, Talaiya Shah, Barkheda Yakub, Dungaria, Dhaturia, Dohaya, and Sohaya. In response, MLA Khatri has written to the district collector, urging an immediate survey of these villages to assess the crop damage and provide farmers with necessary compensation. The hope is that swift action will bring much-needed relief to the farmers who have lost their livelihoods to the heavy rains.
