During the meeting, the Union Minister, emphasized that the above five states have good potential for wheat procurement and can contribute substantially to the central pool which is vital for food security of the nation and also for supply-based interventions to control prices, as and when needed.

It was highlighted that there is need to carry out time bound actions like fixing district-wise targets based on the potential; deeper outreach by opening procurement centers in remote areas; compliance with various Central/ State norms before inter-state movement of stocks; timely payment  of MSP to the farmers; maintaining quality of stocks procured; facilitating and easing the  registration process for farmers; ensuring availability of trained workforce at mandis; proactive approach by PACS in states such as Bihar; engaging Panchayats/FPOs/Societies for procurement.

Food Ministers of States were requested to devote personal attention to the preparations as well as subsequent procurement operations. It was also requested that the States may make efforts to procure at least as much wheat as is required by the State under PMGKAY so that Central pool is well stocked and also cost incurred in transportation from other states is avoided.

The meeting was also attended by Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution, Food Secretaries of the states and CMD FCI.
