Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Wednesday met Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Pralhad Joshi in New Delhi, urging the Centre to increase the rice procurement target from the state for the upcoming Kharif season.

In a post on the social media platform X, CM Majhi shared details of the meeting, stating, “Called on Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Shri @JoshiPralhad ji today in New Delhi. Requested enhancement of the rice procurement target for the upcoming season in view of the anticipated surplus in the state.”

The Chief Minister also urged the Union Minister to increase the monthly lifting of rice by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to ensure its smooth and timely evacuation from state godowns.

The meeting assumes significance as Odisha prepares for a bumper paddy crop, and the state government looks to ensure adequate procurement and distribution mechanisms are in place ahead of the harvest season.

According to official sources, the state currently requires 27 LMT of rice for consumption. However, this year, a total of 93 LMT of paddy has been produced in the state, including both Kharif and Rabi paddy.

Out of this, an average of 63 LMT of rice will be produced, which exceeds the state’s demand significantly. The state government had also previously raised concerns regarding the slow pace of FCI’s procurement process in Odisha.
