Govt to procure 60L tons wheat

June 14, 2024 by rawan239

The Uttar Pradesh government is targeting to procure 60 lakh tons of wheat in the Rabi Marketing season 2023-24. Since the minimum support price (MSP) of wheat has been fixed at Rs 2,125 per quintal, the payout to farmers against the targeted purchase is estimated at Rs 12,750 crore.

UP government agencies have so far procured 90,000 MT of wheat at 2,978 procurement centres from 19,000 farmers. The farmers have been paid Rs 130 crore through DBT (direct benefit transfer). The state, together with the (Fci), will procure wheat from the farmers.

mark against the target of 60 lakh tons since the open market prices were higher than the MSP owing to a surge in the international wheat prices following the Russia-Ukraine war.

Since Russia and Ukraine are among the leading global wheat producers, the conflict affected their wheat supply chains, causing a scarcity of the commodity and stoking prices.

The domestic wheat prices during the last procurement season went north due to the sudden spurt in the export market, prompting India to ban export of the commodity to cool domestic prices and ensure Food Security amid global upheavals.

The global wheat supply chains are fairly stabilised this year, which augurs well for the domestic procurement of the Rabi crop in different states, including UP. Barring the 2022-23 wheat procurement season, which was exacerbated by the Ukraine war, the institutional buying of wheat in UP has been robust over the year
