Registration of farmers in Agristack portal has been made mandatory by the Food and Civil Supplies Department for purchasing paddy at support price in Kharif marketing year 2025-26. For any information or assistance related to Agristack portal, one can contact on toll free number 1800-233-1030.

Food Secretary Smt. Reena Baba Saheb Kangale informed that Agristack portal is a unified agriculture database developed by the Government of India, in which land and Aadhaar linked registration of farmers is done. After registration, farmers get a unique farmer ID. This Aadhaar linked database will play an important role in providing the benefits of various schemes of the government only to the genuine eligible farmers.

In Chhattisgarh, payment is made directly to the farmers under the purchase of paddy at support price. Therefore, the government intends that all eligible farmers should get the real benefits of this scheme with good governance and transparency. The provision of Aadhaar-based registration and e-KYC in AgriStack will ensure greater transparency, accuracy and accountability in the entire process.

Last year, 25.49 lakh farmers of the state had sold paddy. So far in the current year, 21.47 lakh farmers have registered on the Agristack portal. The remaining farmers can register themselves by 31 October 2025 by visiting their nearest cooperative society or designated center. In this regard, necessary instructions have already been issued to all the committees and district collectors.

The state government has clarified that the Agristack portal will prove to be a milestone in the direction of digital revolution, which will make the paddy procurement system in Chhattisgarh transparent, accurate and farmer friendly.

It is noteworthy that this year, digital crop survey has been conducted in 13 thousand 879 villages out of 20 thousand villages in the state. The reports of this digital crop survey and manual Girdawari are being read in Gram Sabhas from 2 to 14 October 2025.

This action is being continuously monitored by the District Collector, Food Officers and senior administrative officers. This initiative is a strong and visionary step of the state towards “Digital Agriculture and Good Governance”.
