Rajnandgaon district wrapped up the Kharif Marketing Year 2025–26 paddy procurement campaign amid enthusiastic participation from farmers, with over 62.49 lakh quintals purchased from 1.24 lakh registered cultivators, amounting to payments of more than ₹1,483 crore.

The state government’s paddy procurement policy is reinforcing farmers’ confidence in public institutions across Rajnandgaon. With assured purchases at Minimum Support Price, time-bound payments, and transparent digital processes, cultivators are benefiting directly, enabling smoother preparation for subsequent crops and strengthening the rural economy.

Rajnandgaon farmer Deval Sahu expressed happiness after selling 133 quintals of paddy at the Kanharpuri procurement centre through the final online token, saying the transparent state procurement system has strengthened farmers’ incomes and enabled him to plan construction of a new house.

To ensure smooth paddy procurement, the Rajnandgaon administration has fast-tracked acreage corrections on the Integrated Farmer Portal, resolving technical issues of nearly 150 farmers and enabling uninterrupted paddy sales under the Kharif 2025–26 drive.
