Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): While addressing the Assembly session, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav made an important statement on “Krishak Kalyan Varsh 2026” (Farmer Welfare Year 2026) and announced several major decisions aimed at benefiting farmers across the state.
Addressing the media, CM Mohan Yadav said that the Madhya Pradesh government will give farmers a bonus of ₹600 per quintal over and above the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

Yadav also said that this decision will encourage farmers to grow crops like urad (black gram) in the state. According to him, the government wants to promote crop diversity so that farmers get better returns and agriculture becomes more stable.
He further said that the state cabinet has taken an important decision regarding mustard procurement under the Bhavantar Yojana. He explained that under this scheme, farmers will get support for the price difference, which has increased by around 28 percent for mustard. The government expects mustard production in the state to reach nearly 71 lakh metric tonnes.
He said that mustard will be purchased through the state mandi board under the Bhavantar Yojana, ensuring that farmers get a fair price for their produce. The Chief Minister said this system will reduce losses for farmers and protect them from sudden price drops in the market.
Yadav said these steps reflect the government’s clear focus on farmer welfare. He added that strong agriculture is the backbone of the state’s economy and that the government will continue to bring such schemes in the future.
