The Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC) has raised coffee procurement prices for the 2024-25 season to support tribal farmers in the Paderu Agency. The new prices are ₹320 per kg for Arabica Parchment, ₹170 for Arabica Cherry, and ₹100 for Robusta Cherry. Previously, the prices were set at ₹285 for Arabica Parchment, ₹150 for Arabica Cherry, and ₹80 for Robusta Cherry. The increase reflects rising coffee prices in the market and aims to protect the interests of tribal growers.

A dedicated desk has been established for complaints related to coffee procurement.
