Chandigarh, March 5 – In a significant move to support the welfare of farmers, the Haryana Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini, has made a significant decision to increase the limit of average production per acre for Rabi crops for the year 2024-25. This decision will directly benefit farmers who, due to higher yields than the previously set limits, were unable to sell their crops at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
To address this issue, the Haryana Government formed a dedicated committee to assess and recommend changes to the production limits for Rabi crops. Based on the committee’s findings, the Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini has approved an increase in the production limits per acre, which will be implemented for the Rabi procurement season of 2025-26.
Giving information in this regard here today, an official spokesperson said that with this decision, the crop production limit for barley has been increased from 15 quintals to 16 quintals per acre. The production limit for gram has been raised from 5 quintals to 6 quintals per acre, while the sunflower limit has been increased from 8 quintals to 9 quintals per acre. In addition, the average production limit for the summer moong crop has been raised from 3 quintals to 4 quintals per acre.
Furthermore, the committee has established a fixed production estimate for lentils/masur, which previously had no set limit. The committee has determined the average production of lentils/masur to be 4 quintals per acre. However, the production limit for wheat remains unchanged at 25 quintals per acre.
The spokesperson said that these changes were made in response to the increased average yields, and that the decision would significantly benefit farmers cultivating gram, barley, sunflower, moong, and lentils, providing them with greater economic advantages.
