Farmers in UP can sell their crops from home until June 30

Lucknow, Apr 2 (UNI) In a relief for farmers in Uttar Pradesh as they can now sell their pulses and oil seeds directly to the government from their homes under the Price Support Scheme (PSS), official sources said here on Wednesday.
Sources said that the Yogi government's initiative, which runs from April 2 to June 30, allows farmers to sell their produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) without the hassle of middlemen or market fluctuations.
Sources said that the scheme aims to ensure fair pricing and boost farmers' income, providing them with a seamless and transparent selling process. By taking advantage of this opportunity, farmers can secure better returns for their crops. "Under the PSS, different districts in UP have been assigned to two key agencies for crop procurement, including NAFED and NCCF.
State Head of NAFED Rohit Jaiman said that farmers will receive payments directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts within three working days after selling their crops. "To facilitate smooth procurement, purchase centres are being set up in crop-producing districts through PCF, PCU, JAFED and UPSS," he said.
Farmers seeking more information can contact the helpline at 18002101222. This special procurement scheme is being jointly implemented by the central government and the UP government, with NAFED Managing Director Deepak Agrawal personally overseeing the process.
