News Capsule: Maharashtra: Deadline Extended for Chana MSP Procurement Registration
★ Farmers in Maharashtra can now register for chana procurement under MSP until April 15, following an extension by the government.
★ However, several procurement centers are still facing operational issues. In many places, there is a shortage of gunny bags (baradana), which may affect the smooth procurement process.
★ Overall, while the extension provides relief to farmers, there is still a need to improve on-ground arrangements.
Chana prices are currently trading below MSP, and a larger procurement from Maharashtra is expected this year.
