Procurement Details in Gujarat
For Gujarat, the approved procurement includes 47,780 metric tonnes of urad (₹372.68 crore), 1,09,905 metric tonnes of soybean (₹585.57 crore), 12,62,163 metric tonnes of groundnut (₹9,167.08 crore), and 4,415 metric tonnes of moong (₹38.71 crore). Approximately 400 biometric-enabled procurement centres will ensure transparency, with registered farmers able to sell at MSP via the e-Samriddhi and e-Samyukti portals, guaranteeing direct payments into bank accounts.
Transparent and Digital Procurement System
Shri Chouhan underlined that the digital system will prevent middlemen from taking advantage, ensuring all eligible farmers receive timely payments at government-notified prices. Pre-registration through NAFED and NCCF portals will verify genuine farmers, while biometric and facial authentication at POS-enabled centres will streamline operations.
The Union Minister also noted that approved quantities may be revised after the first advance estimates of Kharif 2025–26, maximizing benefits for farmers. The decision reflects the government’s commitment to farmer welfare, transparent governance, and effective market support for agriculture.
