Centre targets high procurement of pulses through PSS, PSF schemes to reassure farmers, boost output
The Centre plans to buy tur, urad, and lentil from farmers through price support and stabilization schemes, ensuring produce is purchased at fair rates. Nafed and NCCF have registered 21 lakh farmers to encourage pulse production. The aim is to boost self-sufficiency and prevent distress sales. Free import of tur has been extended until March 2026 to control prices.
