Punjab and Haryana Manage Paddy Procurement Challenges Amid Storage and Supply Issues
Punjab and Haryana face challenges in paddy procurement and storage amid ongoing harvests. Punjab struggles with limited storage capacity and overlapping crop cycles, prompting calls for grain transportation to ease pressure. Haryana experiences delays due to high moisture content, miller shortages, and pending stocks, leading to farmer protests and distress sales. Political parties and officials highlight issues like inadequate procurement pace, moisture meter shortages, and fertilizer supply delays. Authorities in Punjab also monitor and restrict out-of-state paddy to protect local farmers' interests.
