Why Opium Farming is No Longer Profitable for Farmers ? | अफीम किसान | Ground Report | News Potli

Opium farming has been a traditional livelihood for many farmers in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, for generations. However, changing weather conditions, government regulations, and an unusual menace—parrots addicted to opium—are making cultivation increasingly difficult.

📌 Key Points Covered in This Video:
✅ How unpredictable weather is affecting opium farming
✅ The menace of opium-addicted parrots destroying crops
✅ Stringent government policies and licensing issues
✅ Farmers' demand for crop insurance and better pricing
✅ Insights from agricultural expert Basant Kumar Kacholi on improving opium yields

This year, 54,000 farmers in Mandsaur received government licenses to cultivate opium, but many feel that the returns are not worth the risks. While they are paid only ₹2,000–₹2,500 per kg, opium fetches much higher prices in the black market. Farmers are now urging the government to increase payments or provide alternative solutions.
