The total wheat arrivals has crossed 100 lakh metric tonne in the 'mandis' of Punjab. The total arrival of wheat crossed 100 lakh metric tonne (LMT) till Thursday, said an official statement.

Of the total arrivals so far, about 3.5 LMT have been purchased by the traders, while the rest has been picked up by the government agencies at Minimum Support Price, the statement said.

Notably, the wheat procurement in the state began on April 1, but due to unseasonal rains in many parts of the state, the pace picked up a few days later.

The total wheat arrivals has crossed 100 LMT already and has surpassed the entire procurement of last year, which stood at 96 LMT.
