The central government has urged the Ministry of Agriculture to accelerate the procurement of summer moong dal and ensure the full utilisation of the allocated quota.
The central government has issued a directive to the Ministry of Agriculture to expedite the procurement of summer moong dal. This move comes as part of the government's efforts to support farmers and ensure market stability.
The directive specifically instructs the ministry to speed up the procurement process and to exhaust the quota allocated for the season. This will help in meeting the demand and preventing price volatility.
The government has not released specific figures on the quota or the procurement volume, but the emphasis on rapid procurement underscores the importance of timely support to the agricultural sector.
The ministry is expected to respond with a revised procurement schedule and measures to ensure that the quota is fully utilised before the end of the season.
