Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Dr Mohan Yadav on Saturday said the state government is working actively to enhance farmers’ prosperity during the Krishi Kalyan Year 2026, announcing a bonus of ₹600 per quintal on urad procurement to ensure that farmers receive fair prices for their produce.
Addressing a meeting with representatives of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh at Samatva Bhavan, the Chief Minister’s residence in Bhopal, Yadav said the government has also extended the benefit of bonus to wheat growers, as in previous years.
For the 2026–27 marketing season, the state government will provide a bonus of ₹40 per quintal over the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of wheat. With this incentive, farmers will receive ₹2,625 per quintal for wheat. The state government has also committed in its resolution document to procure wheat at ₹2,700 per quintal by 2028.
Yadav said Madhya Pradesh is regarded as the country’s food basket, producing large quantities of pulses, oilseeds and vegetables. He added that the government is continuously taking farmer-friendly decisions to ensure the progress and prosperity of farmers in the state.
In view of difficulties faced by farmers at some places in the registration process for wheat procurement, the Chief Minister announced that the last date for registration has been extended from March 7 to March 10.
He also said that electricity would be supplied to farmers during daytime hours for irrigation, enabling them to avoid the risks associated with irrigating fields at night.
Dr Yadav assured that the state government would also consider the suggestions received from the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh in the interest of farmers.
