Visited the pavilion yesterday! The live demonstrations of SILO technology were impressive. Good to see FCI moving from traditional methods to scientific storage. The rice from different states at reasonable prices is a nice touch 👍

While the exhibition looks good, I hope this modernization actually reaches farmers in remote areas. Often such initiatives remain confined to urban exhibitions. The real test is implementation at grassroots level.

₹28.90 per kg for quality rice from multiple states? That's actually reasonable! Hope FCI expands this retail model beyond exhibitions. Would help control market prices effectively.
