Hindustan Times  

PATNA: Bihar will start procurement of wheat from April 20 and targets to lift 10 lakh metric tonnes, officials of the co-operative department said on Wednesday. Last year, Bihar was able to procure only 3,519 metric tonnes against a target of 10 lakh metric tonnes for 2021-22. Bihar state agriculture department officials estimate the wheat output this year to be around 70 lakh metric tonnes despite the damage to the rabi crop including wheat due to unseasonal rains. Co-operative department secretary Bandana Preyashi said the low procurement of wheat last year was on account of farmers getting a higher price in the open market.
