Rs 8,682 MSP for Moong: CM Dr Mohan Yadav Requests 40% Procurement Amid Surge in Cultivation

Writes to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Seeking Relief for Farmers Amid Increased Cultivation
Indian Masterminds Stories

Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has written to Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, urging the central government to set a target of purchasing 40% of total moong (green gram) production at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) during the marketing year 2025–26. This move is aimed at protecting farmers’ interests in Madhya Pradesh, where moong cultivation has seen a substantial rise this year.

MSP Fixed at ₹8,682 Per Quintal for Summer Moong

The MSP for summer moong for the 2025–26 marketing season has been fixed at ₹8,682 per quintal. In his letter, the Chief Minister pointed out that, according to data collected through Girdawari surveys using mobile applications, the area under summer moong cultivation has increased significantly this year across Madhya Pradesh.

Dr. Yadav stressed that this increase in sowing reflects farmers’ growing trust in the profitability of moong cultivation, and it is now the government’s responsibility to ensure they receive fair returns through assured procurement.

Safeguarding Farmers from Price Fluctuations

The Chief Minister emphasized that government procurement at the MSP is critical to protecting farmers from market volatility and exploitation by middlemen. He added that setting a procurement target of 40% would instill confidence among farmers and encourage continued production of pulse crops, which are vital for both nutritional security and soil health.

Call for Central Support and Coordination

Dr. Yadav has requested the active support of the central government in implementing this procurement drive efficiently. The letter urges that all necessary guidelines and allocations be issued at the earliest so that procurement agencies can plan and initiate operations in time.

He also reiterated Madhya Pradesh’s commitment to supporting the ‘Atmanirbhar Krishi’ (Self-Reliant Agriculture) mission through policy reforms, digital tracking of crops, and increased crop diversification.

Madhya Pradesh’s Moong Drive: Context and Outlook

Madhya Pradesh has consistently been one of India’s top producers of pulses, and the state government has introduced several schemes to boost pulse cultivation, including better seed availability, micro-irrigation projects, and farmer awareness programs.

The 40% procurement target, if approved, would reduce distress sales, stabilize prices, and support small and marginal farmers, who form a major portion of the moong cultivators in the state.
