Paddy growers in the Safidon and Narwana grain markets of Jind district, Haryana, reported facing delays in procurement and slow lifting of stocks. Farmers alleged disputes over moisture readings, citing instances where different machines recorded varying moisture levels for the same paddy. Procurement began on September 29, but lifting remained slow, with only two trucks reportedly loaded on October 8.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The disputes over moisture readings and yield limits could lead to deductions of ₹200-300 per quintal for growers. Farmers also flagged a shortage of gunny bags and demanded action against commission agents allegedly refusing to facilitate procurement. Procurement agencies have assured that additional operations would be arranged to clear the backlog if necessary.
