C Loan availability to buy seeds and fertilisers.
There has been a shift from cultivation of food grains to cash crops in Penamakuru. These crops are sold in the Vuyyuru Rythu market. This shift has been made possible due to the growth of irrigation facilities. Availability of loans to buy inputs like seeds and fertilisers has also aided this shift.
