Procurement Difficulties Hurt Haryana
Mail Today|May 20, 2020
The lack of help, slower disbursal of payments, mistrust of procurement agents has led to many problems in Haryana in this wheat procurement season. The state started the procurement of wheat from April 20, five days after other states initiated the acquisition of grains. Till May 18, 7.04 million MT of wheat was procured in the state, against the Food Corporation of India (FDI) target of 9.5 million MT.

They are all rapidly moving towards achieving their respective targets, well before the deadline of May 31.
