In Haryana, wheat arrivals have dramatically exceeded expectations, reaching 85 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) against the anticipated 72 LMT. This surge raises suspicions of bogus procurement, especially as farmers report significant crop damage due to unseasonal rains, leading to a decline in average yields to 18-20 quintals per acre from last year's 21-22 quintals. Allegations suggest that wheat from neighboring Uttar Pradesh is being sold in Haryana mandis at the minimum support price (MSP) through possible collusion between commission agents and mandi officials. Despite these claims, state officials maintain that procurement is being conducted transparently. As of May 8, the state has procured around 79 LMT of wheat during the current rabi season, with ongoing efforts to manage storage. The government has implemented measures such as biometric registration to combat unauthorized procurement, yet doubts linger regarding the additional 15 LMT of wheat that has arrived. Two FIRs have been registered in Karnal related to the suspected illegal influx, but no official state inquiry has been announced yet. Officials remain committed to ensuring that all registered farmers are accounted for in the procurement process.
