The e-Samyukti platform is a digital initiative of the National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India (NCCF), designed to streamline agricultural procurement and empower farmers and cooperatives. Built on the principles of transparency and accountability, the platform facilitates quick and secure digital payments to farmers, providing a digital mechanism for agricultural procurement.
The Minimum Support Price (MSP) remains a key policy instrument for supporting farmers. Under this system, the government procures agricultural crops at announced support prices. The government announces MSPs annually for 22 mandated agricultural crops.
On 30th September this year, the government approved an increase in the Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for all mandated Rabi crops for the 2027-28 marketing season. The procurement under the season is expected to cover 324 lakh metric tonnes of produce, with an estimated ₹90,962 crore to be paid to farmers.
The procurement and payment figures associated with e-Samyukti, along with the projected procurement and payment estimates for the 2027-28 Rabi marketing season, reflect the expanding scale of government support to farmers. The platform's role in facilitating procurement and digital payments remains central to efforts to streamline agricultural transactions and strengthen the procurement system.
