In Chhattisgarh, paddy procurement at minimum support price will commence from tomorrow. This procurement will continue till 31st January next year. All preparations have been completed for paddy procurement.

 

Paddy is the major crop of Chhattisgarh. The state is known as the Rice Bowl of India. This year, more than twenty-one lakh farmers have registered themselves to sell paddy under MSP scheme. These farmers have grown paddy crops in about twenty eight lakh hectares. Last year, the government had purchased around 84 lakh metric tons of paddy from more than 18 lakh farmers at a support price.

A state level team of officials has been constituted to conduct paddy procurement in a proper manner and to ensure that farmers do not face any problems. Apart from this, the government has made strict arrangements to keep vigil in the border districts, so that no person from the neighbouring states could illegally sell paddy in Chhattisgarh.
