Lucknow, Jan 30: After above-par procurement of paddy, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to start wheat purchase from April 1.
Asking officials to ensure farmers welfare once again, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Friday instructed them that farmers should not face any kind of problem at the purchase centres and storage godowns.
Adequate arrangements should be made to protect wheat across the state, he said. The minimum support price of wheat has been fixed at Rs 1,975 per quintal, an increase of Rs 50 as compared to the previous year. In every case, farmers should get the benefit of MSP, he said.
