# MP raises moong procurement to 60%, suspends fertiliser e-token system 2026-08-22T11:06:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Madhya Pradesh government on Wednesday agreed to procure 60 per cent of the moong crop from eligible farmers, extended the procurement deadline, and suspended the e-token system for fertiliser distribution. The decisions came after talks between state government representatives and farmer leaders, following a protest march in Bhopal by thousands of farmers. The government raised procurement from the earlier 25 per cent to 60 per cent, effective immediately for farmers in districts like Narmadapuram, Sehore, and Harda. The last date for procurement was extended from August 10 to August 20, and the slot-booking deadline from July 30 to August 10. A committee will review the e-token system, which remains suspended until its recommendations are implemented. Some farmer leaders continued to demand 100 per cent procurement at the minimum support price and said a final decision would be taken after consulting stakeholders, indicating the agitation may continue. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Madhya Pradesh government's move to raise procurement to 60 per cent is a temporary compromise aimed at defusing a politically sensitive protest in an election year. The state is a major moong producer, and farmers have been hit by falling prices below MSP. The suspension of the e-token system for fertiliser distribution addresses a long-standing complaint of technical glitches and exclusion of small farmers. The real test will be whether the committee's review leads to permanent reforms or just delays. Watch for the committee's report and whether farmer leaders accept the revised terms or push for full procurement. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Straight news agency style reporting of government decisions and farmer demands without editorialising This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
