"wheat will be procured at MSP across Gujarat... to ensure remunerative prices for farmers - Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd."

Ahmedabad, Jan 27

The Central government has fixed the Minimum Support Price for wheat at Rs 2,585 per quintal for the Rabi Marketing Season 2026-27.

In line with this decision, wheat will be procured at MSP across Gujarat through the Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd., as part of efforts to ensure remunerative prices for farmers.

Farmers willing to sell wheat at MSP will be required to complete online registration at the village level through VCEs between February 1 and March 1, 2026. Registration will be carried out through biometric authentication of farmer account holders. The procurement of wheat at MSP will be undertaken from March 4 to May 15, 2026.

For registration, farmers must keep ready documents including a copy of the Aadhaar card, updated village records, 7/12 and 8-A land records, and proof of crop sowing. In cases where crop sowing details are not reflected in the land records, a certificate signed and stamped by the Talati will be required.

Additionally, farmers must provide bank account details, along with a copy of the bank passbook or a cancelled cheque. Registered farmers will be informed about procurement schedules through SMS alerts.

At the time of procurement, farmers must carry their Aadhaar card or a valid identity proof, and wheat will be purchased only after biometric authentication.

Authorities have warned that if any discrepancies or false documents are detected during verification, the registration will be cancelled and the farmer will not be notified for procurement.

As online registration is mandatory for selling wheat at MSP, farmers have been urged to contact their respective gram panchayats for assistance.

In case of any difficulties related to registration, farmers can contact the helpline numbers 8511171718 and 8511171719, the Civil Supplies Corporation said.

The online registration and biometric process is good for transparency, but what about our elderly farmers in villages with poor internet? The window is only one month (Feb-Mar 2026). The Gram Panchayat must be proactive in helping them. Hope the helpline numbers are actually responsive! 🙏

Interesting to see the detailed process. The emphasis on Aadhaar and biometrics seems to be a strong move against fraud. However, the warning about cancellation without notification seems very harsh. A farmer making an honest mistake in paperwork could lose out entirely. The system needs some grace.

As a farmer's son from Saurashtra, I know the anxiety of the procurement season. SMS alerts for schedule are a good use of tech. But the real test is at the procurement centre - no delays in weighing, prompt payment, and respectful behavior towards annadata. That's what matters most. 🚜

The MSP is fixed for 2026-27, which is planning ahead. But climate change is a big variable. What if unseasonal rains damage the crop before procurement starts in March? Is there any insurance linkage or compensation mechanism in such cases? The policy looks good on paper.

Ensuring farmers get a guaranteed price is crucial for food security and our rural economy. Hope this procurement happens smoothly across all districts. The government should run awareness campaigns now itself, so farmers are ready with all documents well in time. Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan!
