He also expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini for issuing the notification, which ensures comprehensive MSP procurement for all 24 crops.
A Significant Milestone for Haryana’s Farmers
The Minister, Mr. Rana said that the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini, has shown an unwavering commitment to the welfare of farmers. He described the decision to procure all 24 crops at MSP as a significant step towards securing the economic well-being of Haryana’s farmers.
The newly issued notification expands the list of procured crops to include Ragi, Soybean, Nigerseed, Safflower, Barley, Maize, Jowar, Jute, Copra, and Summer Moong, alongside the already procured crops like Paddy, Bajra, Kharif Moong, Urd, Arhar, Til, Cotton, Groundnut, Wheat, Mustard, Gram, Masur, Sunflower, and Sugarcane.
Ensuring Stability and Fair Prices for Farmers

This move is expected to boost the adoption of modern farming techniques and improve agricultural productivity, leading to better incomes for farmers.
MSP System Secures Profit for Farmers
The MSP system, which is determined annually by the Government of India based on recommendations from the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), ensures that farmers receive a profit margin above their production costs. This system remains a vital tool for protecting farmers’ financial interests.
A Landmark Decision for Farmer Welfare
“This historic decision reinforces Haryana’s commitment to safeguarding the interests of its farmers and sets an exemplary standard for the rest of the country,” added Minister Mr. Rana.
