Uttar Pradesh Allows Wheat Sale at MSP Without Mandatory Online Registration

Uttar Pradesh has relaxed the requirement for farmers to register online in the 'Farmer Registry' to sell wheat at government procurement centres at the minimum support price (MSP). This decision, directed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, aims to address difficulties faced by farmers who struggled with mandatory registration earlier, which forced some to sell to middlemen at lower prices. Officials have been instructed to implement the order immediately and ensure adequate facilities for farmers during procurement.
