Haryana Paddy Procurement Limits in Yamunanagar Face Farmer Opposition

When paddy procurement began in Haryana on September 29, the Government of Haryana set the procurement limit at 27 quintals per acre in Yamunanagar district. Farmers in the district opposed this limit, claiming their actual crop yield is closer to 35 quintals per acre, which prevents them from selling their entire produce. Although the Government of Haryana issued an order on October 17 to increase the limit, farmers reported significant delays in the online application process for revised limits.

The difference between the official procurement limit and the reported crop yield creates a supply mismatch for farmers in Yamunanagar district. Administrative friction in processing revised limit applications could delay farmers' ability to sell their full harvest under the new terms.
