In a significant decision aimed at supporting farmers, the State Government has announced an increase in the maize procurement limit from the previous cap to 50 quintals per farmer. This move is expected to benefit small and medium-scale farmers who often struggle to sell their produce at fair prices in the open market.
According to officials, the revised limit will help ensure that more maize is procured directly through government channels, allowing farmers to receive minimum support price (MSP) without depending on middlemen. The decision comes in response to rising production levels and repeated requests from farmer organizations.
Agriculture department authorities have stated that procurement centers will soon be updated with the new guidelines, and farmers will be informed through local announcements and online portals. The government believes the increased limit will boost rural income, improve market stability, and encourage farmers to continue cultivating maize.Overall, the policy change is being welcomed as a positive step towards strengthening the agricultural sector and ensuring better financial protection for farmers across the state.
