State officials say that the amount of paddy procured in Haryana this season is unlikely to reach the government’s set target, raising concerns over supply for the upcoming procurement cycle.
State officials have warned that Haryana’s paddy procurement this season is unlikely to meet the target set by the state government. The shortfall, they said, could affect the volume of grain available for distribution under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme.
The procurement target is a key component of the state’s agricultural policy, intended to ensure adequate buffer stocks and stable prices for farmers. Falling below the goal may put pressure on the state’s ability to honor MSP commitments and could impact farmer incomes.
Authorities indicated that they are reviewing the situation and may consider measures such as extending procurement dates or increasing procurement rates to encourage higher farmer participation.
