Madhya Pradesh aims to buy 2.1 mln tn chana, 7.5 mln wheat at MSP

Madhya Pradesh aims to procure 2.1 mln tn chana and 7.5 mln tn wheat at minimum support price. Most states are procuring chana to jack up prices, which have remained below the support price of 4,400 rupees per 100 kg amid bumper output in the last few months. The target for wheat procurement has been increased from the earlier estimate of 6.7 mln tn due to a similar revision in output of the grain.
