What happened
The Union finance ministry notified licensing conditions for opium poppy cultivation in Mandsaur for the 2026-27 period. These conditions set eligibility rules, cultivation area limits, and minimum morphine yield requirements. Farmers who recorded at least 4.4 kg of morphine per hectare in 2025-26 can qualify, but 5.9 kg per hectare is required for eligibility in 2027-28.
