  • Muttur:Sesame auctioned postponed

    Apr 14th, 2022

    The sesame auction, which was scheduled to start tomorrow at the Muttur Regulated Sales Hall, will be postponed to Saturday, the 23rd of next week, the supervisor said. Regulatory Sales Hall A weekly auction of coconuts, coconut lentils and sesame products is held on Saturdays at the Muttur Regulated Market. These auctions include Muttur town and surrounding rural farmers, Nathakadaiyur Palayakottai, Kuttapalayam, Maruthurai, Paranchervazhi, Pappini Mullipuram revenue rural farmers and Erode district. Farmers from Kollankoil, Sivagiri, Modakkurichi, Anjur, Kongudayampalayam and Karvazhi panchayats of Karur district are benefiting from the sale of agricultural produce. As the sesame harvesting work has been started in these areas for the last 4 days, the Government of Tamil Nadu, District Administration, District Agri and Agri Business Marketing Department has given permission to start the sesame auction from tomorrow at the Muttur Regulated Market. But the sesame auction, which was scheduled to start tomorrow, has been postponed to Saturday, the 23rd of next week, as per the district collector's order. What is the reason Supervisor Srirangan also said about this: - Poisoned samba paddy bundles procured in bulk from downstream irrigated farmers have been stockpiled inside all the godowns in the regulated sales hall premises due to the rains. As a result, sesame farmers in Tirupur, Erode and Karur districts do not have enough space to stockpile their sesame bundles even in regular sales. And within a week, all the paddy bundles stored in the godowns on the premises for regular sale will be sent by lorries to the district consumer goods warehouse. Therefore, the sesame auction which was scheduled to start tomorrow at the Muttur Regulated Sales Hall has been shifted to Saturday the 23rd. So the auction will take place without delay starting next Saturday at the Regulatory Sales Hall.
