- Considering the difference in price of the Average Market Price and MSP of Bajra as Bhavantar price, post the verification of the crops of registered farmers on the ‘Meri Fasal-Mera Byora’ portal, if the given details are found correct then farmers will be given Rs. 600 per quintal on the average yield.
- The minimum support price for Bajra has been fixed at Rs. 2,250 per quintal by the Central Government, whereas the neighbouring States of Rajasthan and Punjab have not made any plan for the procurement of Bajra this time also and it seems that they will not purchase Bajra this time as well.
- In such a situation, there is a possibility of Bajra (Millet) coming from these States to be sold in Haryana. Therefore, it has been decided to compensate only those farmers of Haryana State who have registered on ‘Meri Fasal-Mera Byora’ portal for buying millet. To maintain the yield price, the Government agency will buy 25 percent of the produce.
- In Kharif-season 2021, 2.71 Lakh farmers have registered on Meri Fasal-Mera Byora portal for millet. Out of this, about 8.65 lakh acres of land has been verified. As soon as the procurement starts, Rs. 600 per quintal will be paid according to the average yield through DBT in the accounts of the farmers. This payment will be made only to the verified farmers registered on the ‘Meri Fasal-Mera Byora’ portal.
- In this season, the Government will procure these seven crops at the minimum support price – paddy, maize, moong, urad, toor, sesame and groundnut.
- In Kharif crops, in addition to millet, the purchase of moong, maize and paddy will start from October 1, 2021 and the purchase of groundnut will start from November, 2021.
- Apart from this, the State Government is also going to procure Toor, Urad and Sesame for the first time which will start from December 1, 2021.
- Farmers are being encouraged to grow crops like Oilseeds and Pulses like Moong, Tur, Castor, Groundnut in place of Millet. A grant of Rs. 4,000 per acre will be given to the farmers who sow alternative crops in place of Bajra and reduce the total production of Bajra.
- 86 procurement centres have been set up for the purchase of Bajra, 38 for Moong, 19 for Maize and 7 for Groundnut purchase in the State. 199 procurement centres have also been set up for the purchase of paddy.
- In addition, 72 additional procurement sites have also been identified. If there will be huge arrivals at the procurement centres, then these sites will be used for the purchase of paddy.
