Food Credit Doubles on Strong Wheat Procurement
Imagine that the money used to buy food has gone up a lot!
This happened because farmers are selling more wheat to the government.
The amount of wheat being bought this year is much higher than last year, about 16% more.
This means more money is being used to buy the wheat from the farmers.
Food credit has doubled in the first two months of the new financial year.
This increase is due to robust wheat procurement.
Wheat procurement in the 2025-26 marketing season has risen by over 16%.
Procurement has reached 30.98 million tonnes.
This is an increase of 4.38 million tonnes from the previous year.
