Evidence (2019-12-25): According to information, the price of the premium ‘Teja’ variety of red chilli has now reached around Rs 18,500 per quintal, which is the highest price commanded by the produce in recent years at the Enumamula market. It should be mentioned that the red chilli crop that have been grown at other parts of the State are yet to be harvested. It is at this time that the farmers from erstwhile Warangal and Khammam districts are arriving at the market with huge loads of red chilies. The soaring prices are attracting the farmers to sell their produce as early as possible and get remunerative income. At a time when the price of ‘Teja’ has touched Rs 18,500 per quintal, the price of ‘Thaalu’ variety chili dropped to Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 per quintal, whereas it was sold at Rs 8,000 to Rs 8,500 during this time last year. Meanwhile, the price of number-341 variety chili has reached Rs 14,500 per quintal, as against Rs 10,500 last year.The price of wonder hot (WH) variety of chilli has also witnessed a major hike as it is currently being sold at Rs 9,000 quintal, as against last year’s price of Rs 6,000. [...] According to traders and exporters, the rise in the chilli prices during the beginning of the harvest season is a good sign and noted that the demand for the chilies grown in Warangal have gone considerably up in other states and even foreign countries.

Evidence (2021-07-13): The farmers had reasonable profits on dry red chilli sales in the last two years as the stocks were picked up at about Rs 12,000 to Rs 14,000 per quintal. Fine variety chilli was even picked up at Rs 20,000 per quintal during the peak of the season. The farmers could sell even the lowest quality of stock anywhere between Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000 per quintal, which is usually picked up for Rs 2,000 per quintal. Despite lockdown restrictions in many states and the Covid-19 outbreak, demand for chilli has gone up in the export market helping farmers gain reasonable amounts. "Any price above Rs 8,000 per quintal is reasonably good and profitable. Farmers got an average price of Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 per quintal during the last season due to various factors including crop loss in chilli producing states such as Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka," said Lanka Kranti Sekhar, a chilli exporter. A few farmers who produced high-demand chilli varieties such as Byadgi and Gunturu Sannalu through organic means or clean stock pocketed Rs 20,000 per quintal.

Evidence (2024-03-05): VIJAYAWADA: Fluctuating prices of chilli is forcing farmers to rush to Guntur agriculture market yard with stocks. Official sources said at least 1 lakh bags of dry chilli are arriving in the market yard every day, prompting traders to form a cartel and trim the prices. Chilli, which fetched over 25,000 per quintal last season, is now fetching between 12,000 to 20,000 per quintal. While fine variety chill is fetching around 20,000, the rates for medium grade varieties start from 12,000 per quintal.

However, the farmers' rush to clear the stocks is helping traders who are making a killing," said an official of the agriculture marketing department.

The ‘wonder hot’ variety is getting between Rs 17,000-Rs 22,000 per quintal, US 341 variety is being quoted at Rs 20,000-Rs 27,500 and the Taalu variety chilli price is between Rs 4,000-Rs 8,700 in the market. Speaking to the media, Enumamula Agriculture Market Committee secretary B V Rahul said that the desi variety of chilli was in high demand in Europe and hence the sudden spurt in price.

Evidence (2018-12-06): In 2016, 38-year-old Itikyala Sudhakar and his 35-year-old wife Jyothi of Narsakkapally in Warangal (Rural) district shifted to sowing chillies from cotton, after seeing their neighbour’s chilli crop fetch Rs 13,000 per quintal in 2014 and Rs 12,000 in 2015, with assured procurement from the corporate group ITC. The couple harvested 160 quintals from the eight acre they cultivated as the yields that year were an unprecedented 20 quintals per acre. That year, prices crashed to Rs 1,000 per quintal (there is no minimum support price for chilli). They had racked up debt of Rs 6 lakh, of which Rs 50,000 had gone to pay just the labour to harvest the crop. [...] Itikyala Jyothi’s husband Sudhakar hanged himself in 2017 after their bumper chilli harvest fetched Rs 1,000 a quintal, as against Rs 13,000 the previous year. Fluctuating market prices and failure to get Minimum Support Prices are among the reasons why farming is becoming unviable, especially for small and marginal farmers, in Telangana.

Evidence (2000-01-31): Since the start of cultivation in November/December'1997 and till the time of visit (February, 2000), the company has estimated the gross cropped area by the company at 565 acres (the crop period is for 2 years 3 months since the start of the demonstration). The average cropping intensity was about 1.5 per annum. It is possible that this crop intensity will be raised in a phased manner. After full development, the crop intensity could be between 2 and 3. The crops grown were mostly vegetables like Gherkin, Onion, Tomato, Potato, Water Melon, Sweet Melons, Capsicum, Chillies, Beans, Peas, Carrot, Okra and field crops like Groundnut, Baby Corn, Popping Corn, Grain Corn, Sunflower and Gram (dal) were grown. The major crop was gherkins (more than 200 acres as per the The Hindu advertisement with a net income of Rs. 12,000 - 15,000 per acre). The local food crops have almost been eliminated. The main guiding principle in deciding the crop was maximisation of crop income. The requirements of the members of the Mutually Aided Cooperative Society, which is supposed to be the contracting body were not at all taken into consideration. [...] There is enough scientific evidence to show that this type of intensive cultivation is not sustainable from the point of productivity. [...] The Team observed that cultivation and planting were not even on grade except where multidirectional slope existed. No waterways were observed by the Team for safe disposal of excess run off, in case of run off causing rains.

Evidence (2017-05-11): Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the chilli farmers were justified in holding a protest seeking supportive price for their produce. Instead of intervening on the issue to bail out distressed farmers, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao crushed their agitation using intimidating tactics. "KCR wrongly implicated poor chilli farmers in a fake case. The innocent farmers were immediately arrested and sent to jail. Today the Chief Minister crossed all limits by ordering the police to produce the arrested farmers before the court hand-cuffed. This is the height of arrogance of power," he said. [...] Uttam Kumar Reddy reiterated the demand that the State Government immediately procure the chilli by paying Rs. 12,000 per quintal. He warned the TRS Government of serious implications if it continues to neglect the farmers of Telangana State. "KCR remained a mute spectator to suicide by more than 3,000 farmers. TRS Government did nothing when farmers lost four consecutive crops and when a favourable monsoon increased their production in Rabi season, they were denied remunerative prices. Congress party will not tolerate this injustice with farmers and will launch mass agitation," he announced.

Evidence (2023-02-14): A screenshot of a news paper clipping is being shared on social media claiming that the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued an advisory to the Government of India stating that 87% population of India will suffer from cancer by 2025 because of consuming adulterated milk. According to the post, WHO has stated that India produces only 14 crore litres of milk every day but consumes 64 crore litres of adulterated milk every day.
