Haryana Faces Slow Paddy Lifting Amid Procurement; Panchkula Sees 44% Increase
Farmers in Haryana face challenges with slow paddy lifting amid ongoing procurement. While about 57 lakh metric tonnes of paddy are expected, only around 28 lakh metric tonnes have arrived at purchase centers, with transporters lifting just over 3 lakh metric tonnes. This has caused storage issues and forced some farmers to sell below the minimum support price. In Panchkula district, paddy lifting improved by 44% in one day, raising the share of procured paddy lifted from 18% to 25%, reflecting efforts to ease the backlog.
