Pusa-1509 Paddy Arrivals from Uttar Pradesh Rise in Karnal Markets with Higher Prices
The arrival of the early-maturing Pusa-1509 paddy variety from Uttar Pradesh has increased significantly in Karnal district grain markets, with 29,891 metric tonnes recorded so far—more than double last year's arrivals. Farmers are receiving prices between Rs 3,200 and Rs 3,900 per quintal, higher than last year, driven by strong demand from private traders. This variety matures in about 90 days, allowing farmers to plant another crop in the same season, contributing to optimistic outlooks among producers in western Uttar Pradesh.
