Despite bumper harvest, UP likely to miss wheat procurement target

The 2026 Rabi marketing season will officially end on June 15, though procurement activity has virtually ceased. So far, the state has procured 19.86 LMT of wheat, achieving less than 80% of the target. While this marks the highest procurement in the past three years and is nearly double last year’s purchase, the figure remains modest for the country’s largest wheat-producing state.
