Odisha to create additional storage for rice to accommodate paddy glut

Odisha's state government announced plans to add roughly one million metric tonnes of rice storage under its State Private Entrepreneur Scheme. The expansion aims to address a surplus of paddy by increasing capacity for grain handling and preservation. Officials said the new facilities will be built through private partnerships, enhancing the state's ability to manage future harvest fluctuations.
