Chandigarh, 23 October 2025
During the Kharif procurement season 2025–26, a total payment of Rs 9,029.39 crore has so far been directly transferred to the bank accounts of farmers in Haryana. Thus, the government has ensured timely payment of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) to farmers.
A spokesperson of the Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Haryana, stated that the state government is ensuring smooth and efficient paddy procurement in all designated grain markets while keeping the interests of farmers as its top priority.
He informed that HAFED, Warehousing, and Food and Supplies agencies are actively procuring paddy in various districts. Instructions have been issued to the concerned departments to ensure that farmers do not face any inconvenience while selling their crops.
Paddy is being purchased from farmers registered on the ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ portal. So far, procurement has been completed from 2,52,693 registered farmers under this system.
The spokesperson further informed that a total of 49.94 lakh metric tonnes of paddy has arrived in the mandis across the state. Out of this, 40.22 lakh metric tonnes of paddy have already been lifted from the mandis, and 48.44 lakh metric tonnes have been officially procured.
It is noteworthy that the procurement of paddy in the state is being carried out under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) policy of the Government of India, and payment for the procured crop is directly transferred to the farmers’ bank accounts.
The government has repeatedly appealed to farmers to bring their paddy to the mandis only after properly drying it and ensuring that it meets the quality standards prescribed by the Government of India—particularly the moisture limit of 17 percent.
Adequate arrangements have been made by the state’s procurement agencies for the smooth purchase and lifting of paddy. The payment for the procured paddy is being made at the MSP of Rs 2,389 per quintal, as fixed by the Government of India, with no deductions.
The department spokesperson also mentioned that instructions have been given to maintain proper facilities in mandis such as electricity, clean drinking water, and toilets. He appealed to farmers to bring their well-dried paddy to the markets so they can receive fair and timely payment for their produce. District administrations have been directed to regularly inspect the mandis to ensure that farmers do not face any inconvenience while selling their crops.
In addition, the cleaning of paddy brought by farmers to the mandis and procurement centers is being carried out by commission agents at their level. Furthermore, the government is also bearing the expenses of market labour charges, such as filling, weighing, stitching, and loading work carried out in the mandis and procurement centres.
