State to give Rs 1,000 subsidy per quintal on wheat seed
The Haryana Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department has announced the general sale rate of certified wheat seeds for the upcoming rabi season. The department, through a directive issued by the Director of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, has introduced a subsidy scheme to make quality seeds affordable for farmers across the state.
Haryana Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana said the state government is committed to supporting farmers.
The general sale rate for all wheat varieties — except for variety C-306 and those older than 10 years since notification — has been set at Rs 3,875 per quintal. However, the state government will offer a subsidy of Rs 1,000 per quintal, reducing the effective subsidised sale rate to Rs 2,875 per quintal.
