Haryana Rice Millers Boycott Registration Over FCI Storage and Bonus Demands
What happened
The Haryana Pradesh Rice Millers and Dealers Association has announced a boycott of Custom-Milled Rice registration for the 2026-27 season due to unresolved issues with the Food Corporation of India (FCI). The association is demanding adequate storage space in FCI godowns, immediate release of bonuses for 2024-25 and 2025-26, and a bonus of Rs 100 per quintal for the new season. Furthermore, they seek a solution for broken rice, noting that delays cause financial losses to millers.
