Ravinder announced that all logistical and financial arrangements for paddy procurement have been completed in Ludhiana's grain markets, aiming to facilitate timely purchases for farmers.
Ludhiana, Punjab – Agricultural official Ravindra confirmed that the necessary infrastructure, pricing mechanisms, and payment procedures for paddy procurement have been fully set up across the city's grain markets. The completion of these arrangements is expected to streamline the collection process during the upcoming procurement season, reducing delays for farmers seeking to sell their harvest.
The authorities have coordinated with local market committees, transport providers, and banking institutions to ensure that paddy can be weighed, graded, and paid for without procedural bottlenecks. Ravindra emphasized that the readiness of these systems reflects the government's commitment to supporting the state's rice growers.
Farmers in the surrounding districts have been briefed on the new procedures and are encouraged to bring their produce to the designated market yards during the scheduled procurement windows. Officials will monitor the process closely to address any issues that may arise and to maintain transparency in price settlement.
The move aligns with Punjab's broader agricultural strategy to improve market access and secure fair returns for cultivators, particularly as the region prepares for the post-monsoon harvest.
