Unlifted rice threatens Kharif procurement
Orissa POST
|October 30, 2025
With barely a month-and-a-half left for the 2025-26 Kharif paddy procurement to begin in Subarnapur district, concerns have been raised over the sluggish lifting of rice from mills under the Kharif Marketing Season (KMS) 2024-25.
As of Monday, only 59.39% of custom-milled rice (CMR) from last season has reportedly been collected by the government, leaving nearly 40% of the total rice stock piled up in local mills. It leaves little room for the upcoming paddy harvest. Officials and farmer organisations fear this could disrupt the procurement process scheduled to start in the second week of December.
Subarnapur, a major paddy-producing district in Odisha, supplies around 30,000 quintals of rice monthly for the Public Distribution System (PDS). Preparations are underway to procure paddy from 71,453 registered farmers this season.
