Centre Raises Haryana Paddy Target Amid Millers’ Registration Concerns for CMR
The Union government has increased Haryana's paddy acceptance target for the 2025-26 kharif season from 55 to 59.62 lakh metric tonnes and extended the Custom Milled Rice (CMR) delivery deadline to September 30, 2026. Despite this, many rice millers are reluctant to register for CMR operations due to unresolved issues from the previous season, including large stockpiles and new policy requirements like higher fixed deposits and mandatory geo-fencing. Millers have protested and sought government intervention, while farmers urge an earlier procurement start.
