Haryana Records High Wheat Arrival Amid Slow Lifting and Payment Delays

Haryana has experienced a record wheat arrival of over 82 lakh metric tonnes during the current Rabi season, exceeding targets and previous years. However, the lifting of wheat from grain markets remains slow, with only about 65-70% of procured wheat lifted in many districts, causing storage space issues and delayed payments to farmers. Farmers and market representatives urge faster lifting and payment processes, including payment within 24 hours of J-form issuance, to ease market congestion and support farmers.
