# Madhya Pradesh Paddy Procurement: 23 Lakh Tonnes in Storage, 46 Lakh Tonne Target

> Madhya Pradesh will begin paddy procurement at the minimum support price from 1 December 2026, with a 2026-27 target of 46 lakh tonnes. About 23 lakh tonnes bought in 2025-26 remain in warehouses because millers have not lifted it, citing delayed incentive payments.

## Why it matters

Large state stocks and expected arrivals of up to 56 lakh tonnes add to India's rice supply, which tends to cap domestic and export prices. A storage squeeze could slow procurement and delay farmer payments.
