Madhya Pradesh has decided to keep soybean and corn markets operational even on holidays, allowing farmers to sell produce without delay and reducing payment lag.
The state government announced that soybean and corn mandis will remain open during public holidays. The move aims to help farmers sell their bumper harvests without waiting for market days. By keeping the markets operational, the government hopes to curb the payment delay that often affects farmers. The decision comes after reports that many growers were left idle during holidays, unable to access buyers. Officials said the new policy will provide a smoother supply chain for both producers and buyers.
