The problem, in one line
What happens
For the first time, Punjab has fixed mandi-wise procurement targets for paddy, basing each purchase centre's quantity on its average procurement over the past three years. The Centre fixed a target of 180 lakh tonnes (LMT) for paddy procurement from Punjab this season. Sangrur mandi has been assigned a target of 1,15,947 tonnes, while Kheri Mandi in the same district has been assigned 2,774 tonnes. A senior officer said that at around 30 quintals per acre, non-Basmati arrivals could be roughly 192 LMT, substantially higher than the Centre's 180-LMT target. Farmers and commission agents fear a purchase centre could reach its assigned quantity while farmers continue bringing marketable paddy to the mandi.
