Haryana Government Allows Paddy Procurement Beyond Yield Limits After Verification
The Haryana government has revised its paddy procurement policy for the Kharif Marketing Season 2026-27, allowing farmers to sell produce beyond district-wise yield limits after verification. These limits, based on average yields from the past three years, had caused protests as many farmers reported higher actual yields. The government now permits additional procurement upon verification by revenue or agriculture authorities, aiming to ensure farmers can sell their full crop at the minimum support price (MSP). Some farmers' unions seek further relaxation and simpler verification.
