Haryana stops bajra procurement from Nov 10, farmers with unsold crop face special approval process

Panchkula, Nov 10 (UNI) The Haryana government has stopped the regular procurement of bajra (pearl millet) across the state's grain markets with effect from Tuesday, leaving farmers who could not sell their produce during the procurement season dependent on a special verification and approval process.
The decision was communicated through an order issued by the Chief Administrator of the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) on November 10 to secretary-cum-executive officers and Agricultural Sub-Market Committee (ASMC) in-charges at bajra mandis across the state.
"The government has decided to close the bajra procurement in the mandis of the state with effect from November 10, 2026, for KMS 2026," the order stated. The decision brings regular bajra procurement for the Kharif Marketing Season 2026 to an end.
However, the government has provided an exception for farmers who were genuinely unable to sell their produce. Under the revised arrangement, such farmers cannot automatically access the procurement system. Their cases must first be examined and approved by a committee chaired by the concerned deputy commissioner.
The committee will verify individual claims and identify farmers eligible for permission to sell their remaining bajra. The list of verified and approved farmers will then be forwarded through the district deputy commissioner to the HSAMB headquarters or the Haryana Food and Supplies Department for consideration and necessary approval.
Only after obtaining the required clearance will such farmers be allowed to sell their bajra through the government's e-Kharid portal during the current marketing season.
The order does not specify a deadline for submitting cases under the exceptional arrangement, the time allowed for verification or how quickly the final approvals must be issued. It also provides no figures on the number of farmers who may still have unsold produce or the quantity of bajra awaiting procurement.
