Madhya Pradesh announces incentives for wheat and chana farmers

The state hasn't termed the scheme as a bonus and hence it won't fall within the ambit of a central order

To woo farmers ahead of state elections, the Madhya Pradesh government has announced a special incentive of Rs 265 per quintal on wheat and Rs 100 per quintal for chana, masoor and mustard sold in the 2018 rabi marketing season. This is in addition to the Rs 200 per quintal incentive announced for wheat and paddy sold in the previous kharif and rabi marketing seasons.
 
According to an official order, wheat and other crops including chana, mustard and masoor, will be eligible for the cash incentive irrespective of the rate at which it is sold in the market.
