The central government has announced an increase in commission rates for crop procurement to support farmers during the harvest season. The decision was taken to help farmers get better income and to ensure smooth purchase of crops like wheat and paddy. Officials said the new commission rates will benefit both farmers and procurement agencies by reducing financial pressure during the buying process.
According to agriculture department sources, the step was taken after reviewing the rising cost of farming, transportation, and storage. Farmers had requested the government to revise the commission so that they can manage their expenses properly. The government believes that this decision will encourage farmers to continue cultivation without losses.
Experts said improving the procurement system is important to maintain food supply across the country. Farmers’ unions welcomed the decision and said it will give some relief to the agriculture sector. The new commission rates will be implemented from the current procurement season.
