The wheat procurement at Minimum Support Price (MSP) in Madhya Pradesh is scheduled to start, with a focus on ensuring a smooth process for farmers. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasized transparency and farmer convenience during a virtual review with farmers’ representatives and voluntary organizations. The procurement will kick off in Indore, Ujjain, and Bhopal divisions on April 9, followed by other divisions starting from April 15.
