Haryana becomes the first state in the nation to purchase 24 crops at the minimum support price (MSP) , said Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana, while attending Kisan Diwas celebration at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (HAU)

Speaking at Kisan Diwas, Minister Rana greeted the farming community and thanked Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for his leadership in releasing the announcement that ensures MSP procurement for all 24 of the state’s crops. According to him, it is a revolutionary move for the farmers in the state.

According to the government, the ruling is intended to guarantee farmers receive fair rates for their produce. Ten other crops, including Ragi, Soybean, Nigerseed, Safflower, Barley, Maize, Jowar, Jute, Copra, and Summer Moong, are purchased by government agencies on the MSP in accordance with the notification.

Important food and cash crops like paddy, bajra, kharif moong, urd, arhar, til, cotton, groundnut, wheat, mustard, gram, masur, sunflower, and sugarcane will now be included in the list of 14 crops already purchased at MSP.

All of the notified crops are guaranteed to be purchased at the government-announced MSP since the notification complies with the Central government’s MSP policy. Furthermore, the state government will continue to purchase sugarcane at a Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of Rs 400 per quintal. However, farmers who have registered on the Meri Fasal Mera Bayora site will be able to sell their produce on MSP, according to state agriculture department officials.

Chief Minister Nayab Saini stated, “The state government has guaranteed to procure 100 per cent of all farmers’ crops, so the decision was taken in the interest of the state’s farmers.”

Haryana Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana greeted farmers on the occasion of National Farmers’ Day, stating that Haryana is now the only state in the nation to purchase all 24 notified crops at the MSP set by the union government.

The action also has significant political ramifications because farmers in Punjab, a nearby state, were demonstrating against the union government and calling for legislation to ensure MSP. The state governments can also guarantee the purchase of all crops on MSP, according to the Haryana government’s decision.
