In Fatehpur district, fine-grain paddy was reported selling for 3,000–3,500 rupees per quintal, compared with 1,600–1,750 rupees for coarse paddy. Farmers said government procurement centers limit sales through an online token system to five quintals per bigha, leaving some of their crop to be sold to local traders at lower prices; they called for higher procurement limits.
The procurement cap pushes some supply into local trader channels and weakens farmers’ ability to obtain government support prices, while the fine-versus-coarse price gap reflects differences in local demand and quality. This is a localized market signal, with no clear indication of a wider rice supply or price shift.
