Only a Few Days Left for Government Wheat Procurement in Punjab, Haryana, and Bihar
★ In other states, procurement will continue until May 15, 2025.
★ This year, the procurement targets are: 12.4 million tonnes from Punjab, 7.5 million tonnes from Haryana, and 0.2 million tonnes (200,000 tonnes) from Bihar.
★ As of May 4, 2025, 11.2 million tonnes have been procured from Punjab and 6.77 million tonnes from Haryana, while procurement from Bihar has remained very low.
★ Given the pace of harvest in these two states, it appears the procurement period may be extended by another week to avoid inconvenience to farmers.
★ In other states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand, procurement will continue until June 30, 2025.
★ In Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir, procurement will end on May 31, 2025.
