Chhattisgarh sets Rs 13,839 per-acre support under Krishak Unnati Yojana

Eligible Chhattisgarh farmers under Krishak Unnati Yojana will get uniform support of Rs 13,839 per acre in Kharif Marketing Year 2026-27, even if they sell less than the 21-quintal-per-acre limit.

The amount is based on Rs 659 per quintal, the difference between the state's Rs 3,100 rate and the Rs 2,441 MSP for Common Grade paddy, multiplied by 21 quintals. Support is calculated on eligible registered paddy land. A farmer with one eligible acre who sells 15 quintals will still get Rs 13,839. Farmers with two and three eligible acres will get Rs 27,678 and Rs 41,517, respectively.

Paddy procurement for Kharif Marketing Year 2026-27 is set to start on November 15.
