Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday announced that the state has achieved its highest-ever paddy procurement, clocking an impressive 6.97 lakh metric tonnes (MT) during the Kharif Marketing Season (KMS) 2024-25—significantly surpassing both the government's target and previous records.

Taking to microblogging platform X, CM Sarma stated, "We are proud to announce the successful conclusion of KMS 2024-25 with a record paddy procurement of 6.97 lakh MT—the highest ever!"

This figure marks more than a twofold increase from the 3.14 lakh MT procured in 2023-24 and represents a sustained upward trend from 5.92 lakh MT in 2022-23. The state's original procurement target for this season was 5.85 lakh MT, which has now been exceeded by over 1.1 lakh MT, indicating a sharp improvement in both farmer participation and state procurement efficiency.
