- The Union Agriculture Ministry approved large-scale procurement of pulses and oilseeds under the Price Support Scheme (PSS) at Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana.
- The procurement covers green gram, black gram, and groundnut for the Summer 2026 season and the Rabi Marketing Season (RMS) 2025–26.
- Under the PSS, the Government of India intervenes in the market when prices fall below MSP to ensure price stability and protect farmers’ income.
- Uttar Pradesh received the highest allocation, covering moong, urad, and groundnut worth over ₹1,490 crore, followed by Gujarat, Haryana, and Tamil Nadu with state-specific procurement limits.
- The scheme is implemented by the Government of India through agencies such as the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation (NAFED) and other designated procurement bodies.
