The Gujarat government, under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s guidance, will purchase gram and mustard from farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the 2026–27 season. This decision aims to ensure that farmers receive fair prices for their crops and financial security. The procurement will be conducted through the Price Support Scheme (PSS) as part of the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan.
To guarantee fair prices and economic security for farmers, the state plans to procure gram and mustard at the support price for the upcoming year. The procurement process will consider the total sowing area and estimated production of these crops in Gujarat. Advanced planning will be implemented by the government to streamline the procurement operations.
Farmers cultivating gram and mustard across all districts of Gujarat must register on the ‘e-Samruddhi’ portal through Aadhaar authentication at village-level e-Gram centers. The registration, facilitated by Village Computer Entrepreneurs (VCEs), will be free of charge for farmers. The state Agriculture Minister, Jitu Vaghani, emphasized the importance of prompt registration for farmers to benefit from the scheme without any financial burden.
The Central government has already announced the MSP for rabi crops for the 2026–27 season, setting the procurement rates at Rs 5,875 per quintal for gram and Rs 6,200 per quintal for mustard. This proactive step aims to support farmers and ensure their financial well-being during the upcoming agricultural season.
