We will not be able to have specific fuel prices for farmers in this country because fuel is imported and marketed by oil marketers. But I have said if we have to think of co-operative societies, if they are a large group, they can order for large volumes of fuels and get discounts from the oil suppliers. If farmers form co-operative societies they will benefit from large volumes."}
