Rice Millers in Haryana Express Concerns Over Pending Procurement Targets
What happened
The central government set procurement targets for the season, prompting rice millers to seek assurance regarding pending rice purchases. Millers in Haryana are reluctant to register for custom-milled rice for the 2026-27 season, citing lack of clarity on payments and procurement norms. They are concerned that 2.5 lakh metric tonnes of custom-milled rice from the previous cycle might remain pending.

Why it matters
The central government sets overall foodgrain procurement targets through its procurement plan, relying on state contributions. The reluctance of millers to register and concerns over pending stock create operational challenges for the Food Corporation of India in managing the supply chain and clearing previous cycle purchases.
