Lucknow: UP has procured over 10.27 lakh metric tonnes of wheat – surpassing last year's 9.31 LMT, in the ongoing Rabi marketing season.

According to a state govt spokesperson, wheat procurement for the Rabi marketing season (2025–26) began on March 17 and concluded on June 15. The process was carried out through 5,853 procurement centres across the state. More than two lakh farmers sold over 10.27 lakh metric tonnes of wheat to govt agencies.
