	- Tamil Nadu has scored a hat-trick in exceeding the 40-lakh-tonne mark in paddy procurement.
- As on, June 15, 2023, the quantity procured was a little more than 40 lakh tonnes.
- Until about five years ago, 23.87 lakh tonnes, procured during 2011-12, was considered the all-time high. 
- But it was broken in 2019-20 when 32.4 lakh tonnes were procured. 
- This was followed by 44.9 lakh tonnes procurement in 2020-21 and about 43.3 lakh tonnes in 2021-22.
