MUMBAI – The Madhya Pradesh government will start procuring moong and urad from farmers in the state at their minimum support prices from Thursday, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said in a social media post on X. According to the post, the state government has sent a proposal to the central government for the procurement.
This can be seen as a clarification as media reports quoted government officials as saying that the state will abstain from procuring moong this year, citing high levels of pesticides and chemicals in the crop.
Many farmers in the state spray herbicides or weedicides on the entire crop when it is ripe for harvest. This leads to the plant drying up in a day or two, which makes it suitable to be harvested by a mechanical harvesting machine.
The minimum support price for moong is INR 8,682 per 100 kg for the kharif marketing season 2024-25 (Oct-Sept), the highest among all pulses. The minimum support price for urad is INR 7,400 per 100 kg for this season. End
