Wheat procurement in the country has gone up to a record 32.6 million tonnes this year so far, even as key growing states of Punjab and Haryana are seeing significant drop in daily arrival of the crop.

Total wheat purchase in this marketing season (April-June) has already surpassed the government's target of 31.8 mt and is expected to grow further as states like Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh still seeing daily crop arrival of up to 150,000 tonnes
