# Haryana reopens crop registration portal for Kharif-2026 2026-09-21T06:21:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Haryana will reopen the 'Meri Fasal Mera Byora' portal for seven days starting September 21 to let farmers who missed the Kharif-2026 registration deadline sign up, the state agriculture department announced on Sunday. The move follows representations that some growers could not register and later faced trouble in procurement. During September 21-27, eligible farmers can register land and crop details online or at the sub-divisional magistrate's office. Officials will verify details through satellite data and field inspections within three days, and registration counts only after verification, the government said, urging accurate information. District data shows 9 lakh farmers registered about 57 lakh acres for Kharif 2026. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said every grain of paddy would be procured, warned of action against negligent officials, and noted the state buys all 24 crops under its MSP regime. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The reopening effectively resets the clock for verification and procurement, and the real test is whether field checks by sub-divisional magistrates can keep pace with the 24 lakh acres of non-basmati paddy alone. The Haryana government under its 2022 policy pays MSP for paddy, cotton and bajra, but defaults trigger physical inspections, and the earlier gap between registration and verification is what the September window aims to close. Procurement begins October 1, so any backlog from the three-day verification target could push delays into the peak marketing season. The figure to watch is how many of the 9 lakh farmers return to register and how many acres they add, because that will determine if the state's procurement machinery and procurement budget, estimated in the thousands of crores, can hold. With a state assembly election due within months, the administration’s handling of this window could shape farmer sentiment. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Haryana, kharif, Meri Fasal Mera Byora, Nayab Singh Saini, procurement Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/haryana-reopens-crop-registration-portal-for-kharif-2026/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
