The Madhya Pradesh government on Wednesday agreed to procure 60 per cent of the moong crop from eligible farmers, up from 25 per cent, and extended the procurement deadline to August 20. It also suspended the e-token system for fertiliser distribution pending a review by a committee. The decisions prompted farmers to call off their protest in Bhopal. The government said farmers producing around three quintals of moong per acre in districts like Narmadapuram, Sehore and Harda will benefit initially. Farmer leaders had demanded 100 per cent procurement at the minimum support price, and some said the agitation would continue after consultations. The state agriculture minister said the e-token suspension will last until the committee submits recommendations.
