Chandigarh, September 24

The Haryana Government will procure 100 per cent of the paddy, maize, bajra and cotton crops registered under the ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ scheme during kharif 2020.

Registered farmers will be issued e-gate passes to mandis to ensure hassle-free procurement.

An official spokesman said consistent efforts had been made to ensure 100 per cent coverage of all farmers under the scheme.

Now, with details of crops and land in hand, officers of the department would be able to calculate average yield and set a benchmark for procurement. An additional relaxation of 10 per cent over the average yield would also be given, he added.
