A recent calculation indicates that selling one quintal of paddy in Chhattisgarh can fetch ₹13,839 under the current procurement price.
The latest figures released by state agricultural officials show that the procurement price for paddy in Chhattisgarh stands at ₹13,839 per quintal. This rate means that a farmer who sells a single quintal of harvested paddy can receive that amount directly from the government or authorized buyers.
The calculation is straightforward: the announced price per quintal multiplied by the quantity sold (1 quintal) results in a gross payment of ₹13,839. No additional subsidies or deductions have been factored into this basic computation, which the Swadesh news outlet highlighted in its recent report.
Analysts suggest that such a price level, higher than previous years, could improve farm‑gate earnings and encourage greater paddy cultivation in the state. The transparent breakdown aims to help farmers understand the exact revenue they can expect from a single unit of produce.
The report has been widely shared among farmer groups, who are assessing how the new procurement figure aligns with their production costs and market expectations.
