Strong Wheat Arrival in Haryana but Slow Lifting
★ This year, the tender process for transportation and labor was conducted at the state level, and delays in the process caused disruptions in the lifting of wheat.
★ Recent rains and storms in Panipat led to wheat sacks stored in the open getting wet, causing losses to farmers and commission agents.
★ In Sonipat, 3.585 million quintals of wheat have been procured so far, but only 1.776 million quintals have been lifted, leading to a shortage of space in the mandis.
★ The government has arranged additional storage, and complete lifting is expected within the next 10 days.
★ After the tender process was completed in Panipat, lifting has picked up pace, and the situation is improving.
