]]> Wheat procurement target increased in Bihar, giving relief to thousands of farmers across the state. The government raised the target from 18,000 metric tons to 1.80 lakh metric tons. This move will help more farmers sell their wheat at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

Officials say the decision will support farmers who earlier faced limits in selling wheat to government centers. Because the wheat procurement target increased in Bihar, more farmers can now sell wheat through PACS and other purchase centers at the MSP of about ₹2,585 per quintal.

The state started wheat procurement on April 1. The purchase process will continue until June 15. So far, authorities have bought around 17,500 metric tons of wheat. About 3,800 farmers have sold their crops under the scheme.

Nearly 4,645 procurement centers operate across Bihar. These include PACS, trade mandals, and FCI centers. Officials say farmers will receive payments within 48 hours after selling wheat.

The higher procurement target will help farmers get fair prices and avoid selling crops to private traders at lower rates.

]]> Punjab Rabi Marketing 2026-27 wheat procurement readiness begins as the state starts advance planning for the next Rabi season. The first paragraph highlights that readiness begins now, and this message appears again later in the article. Punjab Rabi Marketing 2026-27 wheat procurement readiness begins with a focus on smooth operations and timely arrangements.

Food, Civil Supplies, Consumer Affairs, Forest and Wildlife Preservation Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak chaired a high-level review meeting at Anaj Bhawan. He assessed the early preparations for the Wheat Procurement Season for RMS 2026–27.

The main agenda centred on ensuring the availability of wooden crates. These crates play a key role in safe procurement and storage. Officials shared that PUNGRAIN has floated tenders for 12 lakh wooden crates. The Punjab State Forest Development Corporation has committed to supplying 1 lakh crates.

Kataruchak held detailed discussions with officers from both Food Supply and Forest departments. He urged the Managing Director of the Forest Development Corporation to increase the quantity beyond 1 lakh crates. This step, he said, will help maintain uninterrupted procurement during peak days.

He also stressed the importance of advance coordination. Early planning reduces logistical pressure and improves efficiency.

Senior officials present included Rahul Tiwari, Priyank Bharti, Varinder Kumar Sharma, Dharminder Sharma, Praveen Kumar and Anjuman Bhaskar. Their involvement showed strong inter-departmental cooperation for RMS 2026–27.
