Moong: ₹8,768 per quintal
-
Urad: ₹7,800 per quintal
-
Soybean: ₹5,328 per quintal
Two national agencies — NAFED and NCCF — will handle procurement in different regions.
-
NAFED will manage operations in 22 districts, including Amravati, Akola, Yavatmal, Buldhana, and Washim.
-
NCCF will handle 6 districts, such as Nagpur, Chandrapur, Nashik, Ahmednagar, and Solapur.
Farmers have been instructed to register online at their nearest purchase centre using POS machines before bringing their crops for sale. They must carry their Aadhaar card, bank passbook, 7/12 extract, and crop details during registration.
Officials have urged farmers to bring their produce only after receiving an SMS confirmation of registration to avoid crowding and delays.
The initiative is expected to help stabilize crop prices and prevent distress selling in rural markets.
