Union Minister for Rural Development and Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has informed the Chief Minister, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, through an official letter that the state government’s proposal has been accorded approval.

According to the letter issued by the Union Minister, procurement at Minimum Support Price (MSP) has been approved for a total quantity of 21,330 metric tonnes of tur (pigeon pea), 25,530 metric tonnes of urad (black gram), 240 metric tonnes of moong (green gram), 4,210 metric tonnes of soybean and 4,210 metric tonnes of groundnut in Chhattisgarh during the Kharif marketing year 2025–26.

The procurement of these crops will be undertaken under the Price Support Scheme at MSP, ensuring that farmers receive a fair price for their produce.
